I graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2021 with a Bachelor's of Science in mechanical engineering and a concentration in mechanical design. Currently, I am pursuing my Master's degree at WPI in mechanical engineering. I am a part of the Men’s Varsity Cross Country team (2017-2021) and the Men’s Varsity Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field team (2018-2021) at WPI. I was elected captain my senior year and graduate year for both the Cross Country and the Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field teams. I am a part of the formula SAE team in which building an electric FSAE race car was my senior major qualifying project. I am also a part of the Engineering Honors Society, Tau Beta Pi.In terms of work experience, I was previously employed at Prodrive Technologies (Canton, MA, United States & Son en Breugel, North Brabant, Netherlands) in 2022. I primarily worked on mechanical design updates for two products: a magnet yoke/coil linear actuator motor and a PCB validation imaging machine. Furthermore, I also interned at Howe & Howe Technologies out of Waterboro, ME during the summer of 2020. At Howe & Howe Tech., I worked on the Ripsaw M5 Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) which is a robotic unmanned track vehicle. The internship primarily consisted of part modeling and component selection for the RCV. Prior to this, I have worked for WGBS Maintenance out of Scarborough, ME where I performed property maintenance jobs including construction, carpentry, and painting, in Prouts Neck, Maine. I have also worked for Folsom Electric out of Scarborough, ME where I assisted in the installation and maintenance of electrical equipment at commercial sites throughout southern Maine.In terms of skills, I am proficient in SolidWorks and have my CSWA Associates Certification. I have experience using PTC Creo Parametric and the finite element analysis this software offers. I am also proficient in MATLAB and the Microsoft suite package. I have some experience and am familiar with AutoCAD and Espre. Furthermore, I have artistic experience in many software packages including Photoshop and a majority of the artistic oriented AutoDesk applications. On a personal level, I consider myself to be collegial, detail-oriented, open-minded, honest, and hard working.
