What I'm looking for

I am looking for full-time roles in CNC machining, manufacturing engineering, or mechanical design where I can apply automation, lean principles, and hands-on CAD/CAM skills to drive product and process improvements.

I am a Mechanical Engineering student at RIT with hands-on production engineering co-op experience at Toyota and multiple hardware ventures taken from concept to market.

I have deep practical expertise in CNC programming (G-code, CAM), GD&T, precision measurement, CMM inspection, and robotics, and I have managed $250K capital projects and end-to-end product development lifecycles.

I seek to apply lean manufacturing, DFMA, and automation skills to roles in CNC machining, manufacturing engineering, or mechanical design, driving cost reduction, quality improvement, and rapid product iteration.
