@carsonbellak
Aspiring mechanical engineer with a passion for innovative problem-solving.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated mechanical engineering student at Purdue University, set to graduate in 2028. My journey has been marked by a commitment to applying engineering principles to real-world challenges. Currently, I am involved in the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program, where I lead a team to enhance the efficiency of a large-scale farm in India. This role has honed my project management skills and taught me the importance of collaboration across cultures.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have a strong background in building and troubleshooting FPV drones, which has equipped me with hands-on experience in diagnosing complex mechanical and technological issues. My shadowing experience with a biomedical engineer at a regional hospital further expanded my understanding of advanced imaging technologies and data collection systems. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in engineering to make a meaningful impact in various fields.
