About
I'm a mechanical engineering student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in the blended B.S./M.S. program, Manufacturing Concentration, Class of 2028.
Most of my work is fixtures and test hardware: a 12-channel PCB test fixture at IT USA (Imdex), pilot-line fixtures at Terumo Neuro, and a sensor calibration fixture for my Atlas Copco senior project. I research scoliosis brace manufacturing and modeling, advised by Dr. Xuan Wang.
From 2022 to 2024 I designed, welded, and sold metal furniture and fireplace log sets in Hood River, Oregon, and did contract welding on tables, trailers, and hitches. Building those pieces myself shaped how I design parts for manufacturing. In summer 2023 I installed solar systems in the Columbia River Gorge with Common Energy LLC.
Major GPA 3.51. Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP).
Interests: backpacking, guitar, skiing, sci-fi books, DIY 3D printing projects, and automotive work.
