About Me

Generic placeholder image

I'm a mechanical engineer who thrives on human-centered design and loves collaborating with thoughtful, curious people to bring ambitious ideas to life. I enjoy using small, technical details to create elegant solutions to complex problems. I'm especially drawn to projects that create meaningful impact in people's lives. Outside of my engineering work, I have a wide range of interests, which I explore through reading, travel, and conversations.
