I am a mechanical engineering student at Purdue University. In my free time I enjoy biking, gardening and anything hands-on. I work on about 2-3 engineering projects each year to apply my ME knowledge to the real world.. Some of the tools I have used when working on my projects include CAD, CAM, CFD, PCB design, and computer programming. I have over 5 years of experience in CAD. The main software I use for design is Autodesk Inventor. I am also well-versed in Fusion 360 and SOLIDWORKS. I have built countless inventions in the past and many are listed in my portfolio. In 2020, I used the engineering design process to build a practical kitchen appliance prototype. It took 12 months to go from the initial idea to a working prototype. Once completed, I applied and was granted a provisional patent for this invention. I am always learning and thinking of solutions to problems in the world. Through the use of engineering, I hope to make life easier for people.
