I am a recent graduate of Michigan State University with a Masters of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering, earning a 4.0 GPA. I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Eastern Michigan University, an ABET-accredited program. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in both mechanical and electrical engineering principles, enabling me to approach complex engineering challenges with a multifaceted perspective. I bring hands-on experience in designing, analyzing, and implementing engineering solutions through automotive Tier 1 supplier work where I utilized CAD / CAE software, finite element analysis (FEA) simulation tools, and programming languages. My experience has also helped me develop strong communication and interpersonal skills, coupled with a high level of analytical ability. At Tesca USA, I worked on seat development, including design, analysis, validation, and implementation of engineering solutions for new automotive electric vehicle (EV) seat programs. I utilized CAD software and FEA tools to confirm and release files and component drawings. Additionally, I supported test plan execution, conducting post-test teardowns, performing root cause analysis, and implementing solutions to enhance seat safety and comfort systems.Key highlights of my experience include:• Leadership & Collaboration: Released CAD files and component drawings, ensuring timely product releases. Collaborated with cross-functional teams to resolve post-test issues.• Innovative Solutions: Engaged in concept ideation and product development, resulting in innovative comfort systems.• Process Improvement: Supported APQP for prototype and production seat builds, and conducted assembly studies to enhance build processes.• Hands-on Experience: Assisted in product testing activities, initiated DFMEA reviews, and completed benchmarking and teardown analysis.Additionally, I developed leadership, time management, and teamwork skills as a Division 1 Collegiate Varsity Baseball player at Eastern Michigan University, where I also contributed over 50 hours to community service.I am eager to leverage my diverse engineering background to contribute to in the automotive, defense, and aerospace industries.
