MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER

In developing 9 medical devices,

I’ve learned to speak fluent CAD, think in prototypes, and analyze with first-principles. In my day-to-day, I’m driven by learning new technologies, collaborating across disciplines, and building human-centered products.

Welcome!

I’m excited to share my work with you.

I’ve always loved building—whether it was constructing decks with my dad as soon as I could handle a power drill, or machining parts for a competitive off-road race car in college.

But it was through a design thinking course that I began to discover my natural passion: bringing ideas to life through user-centered design.

This fueled my drive to develop medical devices while collaborating with surgeons, pharmaceutical scientists, and fellow engineers. In these roles, I embraced ownership of mechanical designs, eager to propel healthcare innovations forward.

Now, I’m looking to join a product development firm, excited to continue learning, building, and collaborating in a multidisciplinary team transforming ideas into human-centered products!
