Diego Baca Email & Phone Number

I excelled in math and science throughout my K-12 experience and it wasn't until junior year when I decided to study Mechanical Engineering(ME). I'm currently a junior at San Jose State University and I transferred from De Anza Community College after two years. I've learned how to use Excel, Solidworks, and Arduino through my years in college/university. I'm currently looking for an internship to further my knowledge and experience in the field of ME.
