I’m an advanced Mechanical Engineering student (CMR 2025–2026) focused on machinery solutions that work in real plants. I design with functionality, practical manufacturability, and maintenance requirements in mind.

At HEYCO LLC (2020–2025), I led mechanical design and development of extrusion structures and worktables. I created detailed technical drawings and documentation for clients such as Johnson & Johnson, EATON, Nexteer, and Jabil Inc.

I bring a design-to-production mindset through Design for Manufacturing (DFM). I managed CNC milling programming to support mechanical structures, handled component updates on machines with 50+ years of operation, and performed field verification with plant measurements.

I also strengthened my hands-on and leadership side at RPM AUTOMATION (2018–2020), where I was responsible for CNC machining and supervision of third-shift personnel. I selected pneumatic components (cylinders, valves, regulators, hoses, fittings, and connectors) and supported routing and wiring electrical test benches while coordinating with customers and suppliers.
