About
Build, test, learn, improve.
My interest in engineering began with building a homopolar motor and discovering how much experimentation can lie behind a simple physical concept. That experience shaped the way I work today: understand the physics, build a model, test it, and improve the design.
Through internships in applied mechanics, precision manufacturing, and airport systems, I have developed hands-on experience in mechanical testing, CAD, instrumentation, data acquisition, metrology, and experimental validation.
