About Me

I am a mechanical engineer driven by the process of turning ideas into functional tangible systems. What first drew me to engineering was a desire to understand how things work. Not necessarily to analyze them, but to use that understanding to design, build, and improve them. Hands-on experience in robotics developed that curiosity into a strong interest in mechanical design, manufacturing, and multidisciplinary engineering.

Through Mechanical Engineering at UNC Charlotte, internships, robotics, and independent projects, I have learned that engineering requires more than technical knowledge. It requires understanding constraints, communicating across disciplines, making practical design decisions, and considering how a solution will actually be manufactured and used by real people. I am most engaged when I can take a problem from an early concept through analysis, iteration, prototyping, and ultimately a physical product.

I am becoming an engineer focused on robotics, aerospace, and product development, particularly where mechanical design intersects with electronics, controls, and manufacturing. I want to work on systems where thoughtful mechanical design and practical problem-solving can make ideas into actually useful products.
