About

Mechanical engineering and mechatronics.

I’m completing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a Mechatronics minor at Penn State. I’m most engaged by work where geometry, manufacturing, electronics, controls, and testing influence one another.

My projects include connector product development, reliability fixtures, assistive devices, quadruped controls, thermal modeling, vibration analysis, and digital hardware.
