What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply mechanical and automation expertise, lead manufacturing optimization projects, collaborate across multidisciplinary teams, and grow in ML-driven industrial applications within innovation-focused organizations.

I am a Mechanical Engineer with over four years of experience designing, implementing, and optimizing manufacturing systems, specializing in CNC machining, plasma cutting, and industrial automation. I lead projects in 3D modeling, LIDAR scanning, computational simulation, and custom part manufacture, driving cost reductions and process standardization.

I have founded a company to implement CNC technology for recycling, contributed to hydrogen-sector strategic planning as a treasurer, and worked on ML-driven detection and segmentation projects that earned a national innovation award. I combine engineering, data analytics, and machine learning skills to deliver efficient, innovative solutions.
