Prototype-driven design, fabrication, and systems thinking.
Engineering portfolio
I build engineering systems that feel precise, practical, and real.
Mechanical engineering student at the University of Colorado Boulder focused on prototyping, CAD, robotics, and cross-system design. I enjoy turning concepts into tested physical systems that are clear, functional, and built with intent.
Sensor integration, iterative prototyping, and usable feedback loops.
Hands-on testing, collaboration, and details that hold up physically.
