Engineer at heart, designer by instinct

I'm a mechanical engineering graduate from Arizona State University's Barrett Honors College, where I focused on bridging the gap between rigorous engineering and thoughtful product design. My work spans hardware prototyping, systems integration, and CAD — with a consistent thread of making things that feel as good as they function.

From building smart orthotic insoles in Frankfurt to designing 3D-printed violins for my honors thesis, I gravitate toward projects where material, form, and engineering intersect. I hold CSWP and CSWA SolidWorks certifications and am most at home when I'm moving a concept from napkin sketch to physical prototype.

Outside the office I'm drawn to anything made by hand — woodworking, welding, or tinkering on whatever project has caught my attention that week.
