About Me

A mechanical engineer focused on manufacturing and product development

I'm a mechanical engineer with a growing focus on manufacturing, product development, and industrial process improvement. My path runs through automotive maintenance, railway systems, amusement ride design, and industrial surface-finishing equipment — each one sharpening the same core skill: turning a real operational problem into a practical, manufacturable design. I'm currently pursuing my MS in Mechanical Engineering at Clemson University, concentrating in Design & Manufacturing.

What Guides My Work

Engineering Values

Problem Solving

Starting from root-cause analysis on the shop floor, not assumptions — every redesign begins with understanding why the existing system fails.

Innovation

Applying rapid prototyping and iterative CAD development to explore practical solutions quickly before committing to production.

Manufacturing

Designing for manufacturability from the first sketch — every part has to be produced, assembled, and maintained in the real world.

Continuous Learning

Treating every internship and project as a chance to close the gap between classroom theory and industrial practice.
