Background

I am a mechanical design engineer with a passion for creating innovative and efficient solutions across a range of industries. My journey into engineering began with my love for bicycles—designing and refining high-performance components fueled my curiosity for mechanical systems. This passion led me to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering from UC Santa Barbara, where I honed my skills in design, analysis, and manufacturing.


Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience in the bicycle industry, spacecraft development, and UAV aircraft design. From precision engineering for high-performance cycling components to tackling the challenges of space and aerospace systems, I thrive on solving complex mechanical problems and pushing the boundaries of design.


With expertise in CAD modeling, structural analysis, and manufacturing processes, I am committed to delivering innovative and high-quality engineering solutions. Whether optimizing designs for performance and durability or collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams, I bring a detail-oriented and creative approach to every project.
