What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging CAD, simulation, and fabrication collaboration where I can manage projects, improve manufacturability, and contribute to product development.

I am a mechanical engineer with a concentration in thermal/fluid and energy systems and hands-on experience in CAD, simulation, and prototype development.

I have designed and released dozens of custom manufacturing projects, produced permit-ready OSP fiber-optic construction plans, and managed end-to-end design workflows from concept to fabrication approval.

My projects include a vehicle dynamics motion simulation platform with FEA validation and Arduino-based control, and multiple rapid prototypes combining SolidWorks, ANSYS, and embedded programming.

I collaborate closely with fabrication teams to ensure manufacturability, optimize designs for production, and deliver high first-pass approval rates on permitting and manufacturing releases.
