Who I am

I am a mechanical engineering student at Brigham Young University interested in mechanical design, aerospace, controls, and embedded systems. I am especially motivated by work that combines design, analysis, and hands-on engineering in practical applications.

My experience includes CAD-heavy design work, OTS/UV-C clean room design, process improvement, and project work involving controls and embedded systems. I value thoughtful iteration, clear communication, and engineering solutions that are both functional and manufacturable.
