I’m a Mechanical Engineering graduate who brings an interdisciplinary approach—designing, experimenting, and solving technical problems with a strong focus on analysis and data-driven decisions. I enjoy turning complex physics and math into practical engineering solutions through hands-on testing and structured problem-solving.

In my Capstone Project (Robobaby), I engineered an anatomically accurate robotic infant to mimic infant movement and evaluate the risk of suffocation. I was awarded Top 10 out of 600 capstone projects at the Georgia Tech Design Expo for building a dynamic robotic testing system that detects critical failure modes in consumer products.

I also worked as a Thermal System Analyst on the CarWindshield Project, where I built and analyzed heat transfer between the windshield and air to optimize the melting rate of ice. Using COMSOL to analyze turbulent flow and calculate Reynold and Nusselt numbers, I achieved an optimal heat transfer rate while reducing energy usage.

Beyond my technical work, I’ve led teams and improved product experiences through customer feedback in a marketing manager role. I’ve also designed and built systems like a go-kart prototype, a mini quadcopter, and an engineering-lab ventilation system—bringing a consistent mix of mechanical design, programming, and technical writing to everything I do.
