I've always been interested in making things and understanding how they can work better. Whether it be programming a controller for an autonomous VW GTI, or designing and fabricating a beam climbing robot, I love to take on challenging problems. Studying mechanical engineering and working in industry, I've enjoyed dynamic systems analysis, rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing, static failure analysis, and thermo-fluids engineering and simulation. As I look towards what's next, I'll work to help teams create robust systems and components that not only progress their projects, but also help the broader communities around them.
