I chose engineering because I'm good at solving problems, and I like that engineering lets those solutions actually reach people. A good fix in the lab becomes something real in someone's hands — that connection is what drew me in.

I'm a mechanical engineering student at Northeastern University, and I've built my skills by doing, not just studying. At ColdSnap, I tested the reliability of electromechanical assemblies for a consumer appliance. When I kept running into the same calibration problem on the manufacturing line, I designed and 3D-printed a gauge to fix it — after five versions, it became part of the standard process. At PROTECS, I led research into AI tools for cost estimating and presented my findings to leadership. I've also built a testing strategy to optimize an appliance's chilling cycle, and spent a semester in Madrid studying statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics.

Going forward, I want to keep solving problems that make a real difference — better products, smoother processes, systems people can count on. I like staying close to that cycle: build something, test it, make it better.
