About

I like engineering when the screen work has to survive the real world.

My work moves between CAD, simulation, controls, manufacturing, HVAC analysis, data modeling, and troubleshooting. That mix is what keeps me honest: elegant geometry still has to print, assemble, move, and explain itself.

Background

UIC mechanical engineering graduate based in Chicago.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Illinois Chicago, graduating in May 2026. My project work includes a five-bar pick-and-place robot, ANSYS thermal-structural analysis, microscopy image classification, residential HVAC load modeling, CAD-driven product concepts, and 3D printed prototypes.

Outside pure mechanical design, I also worked as a Computer Specialist at UIC College of Nursing, where I supported hardware deployments, endpoint configuration, networking issues, software support, and maintenance workflows. It is a different kind of engineering muscle: diagnose quickly, communicate clearly, and keep systems reliable for real users.
