About Me

I’m a mechanical engineer who loves building reliable systems that feel great to use. I completed my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Drexel University (’25), where my work centered on control systems, multi-device integration, and design-driven problem solving.

I like projects that bridge hardware, software, and people. Recently, I designed a closed-loop control stack for a Pulsed-Laser Deposition system—bringing Eurotherm, Newport XPS, MKS, Pfeiffer, and Alicat devices into one Python workflow for diagnostics, data, and repeatable runs. Along the way, I’ve learned that clarity, documentation, and thoughtful UI matter just as much as precision and performance.

Before that, I co-led a four-person team to prototype an Electromagnetic Augmented Mandolin, integrating actuators, a flexible capacitive touch sensor, and microcontrollers. I’ve also logged shop time machining a precision vise from a SolidWorks model and built an Arduino touch lamp to explore fast form-factor iteration.

What I’m good at

  • Turning ambiguous technical requirements into clear, testable systems

  • Troubleshooting and device communications (RS-232/RS-485, multi-vendor hardware)

  • CAD and prototyping (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, 3D printing, laser cutting)

  • Writing clean, reproducible Python tooling and simple UIs that others can use

How I work

Curious, structured, and collaborative. I prototype quickly, document as I go, and validate with data. My goal is to deliver systems that are robust on the inside and straightforward on the outside.

Outside the Office

I’m drawn to multimedia art, thoughtful product design, and small builds that make everyday tasks easier. If a project lets me blend engineering rigor with a little creativity, I’m in.
