As a mechanical engineer with a diverse background in aerospace, defense, and cleantech, I thrive in fast-paced, innovative environments. My experience spans the design and development of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), sustainability-focused IoT devices, and full-lifecycle product development from concept to launch.At DPI UAV, I led the design, build, and testing of both tethered and free-flight UAS for defense and commercial applications across 3 separate programs. As co-founder of Sage Smart Garden, I merged my passion for sustainability with technology to create an IoT-driven solution aimed at revolutionizing urban gardening leading to 4 major product iterations.With a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Delaware, I’ve had the opportunity to work on interdisciplinary teams, tackling everything from commercial toy designs to payload-delivering RC airplanes and advanced UAS for defense. My entrepreneurial spirit is backed by participation in programs such as VentureOn, VentureWell E-teams, NSF's I-Corps, and NextFab's RAPID Hardware Accelerator, leading to over $158k in funding and $28k in revenue generated.Competencies: Solidworks, Rapid prototyping, Arduino, system integration, product design, project managementWhether developing cutting-edge technology or collaborating with cross-functional teams, I bring creativity, critical thinking, and a passion for innovation to every project!
