I am a first-generation mechanical engineering student at the University of Florida, graduating in December 2027.
My work spans aerospace operations at NASA, tribology research, product development at Lutron, FSAE, entrepreneurship, sales, and even some work in construction. I shine where my communication skills help my creative solutions be broadcasted in multi-disciplinary environments.

Undergraduate Research Assistant
Gainesville, FloridaImproved experiment imaging, incorporated video capture into a Python interface, and wrenched on compression molding machines to produce polyethene test sample.
Learn moreMay 2025 - August 2025
Design and Development Mechanical Engineer Intern
Austin, TexasDeveloped and validated downlight hardware. Test data guided a 20% temperature reduction, while purpose-built tools improved installation and manufacturing throughput.
Learn moreJune 2023 - Present
Founder and Operator
Orlando, FloridaBuilt an independent refurbishment business around methodical diagnosis, repeatable testing, careful repair, and clear customer communication.
Learn moreMay 2023 - July 2023
Design and Sales Associate
Orlando, FloridaTurned field measurements into installable CAD layouts while generating over $300,000 in revenue from kitchen and bathroom sales for over 40 clients.
Learn moreThese six projects are highlighted to show different parts of my skillset, from FSAE and control systems to the link between a product and the engineering behind it.
Vehicle systems / composites
Suspension-team design and fabrication work for the University of Florida Formula SAE car.
CAD · Carbon fiber · Suspension systems · Manufacturing
Learn moreControl systems / simulation
A MATLAB and Simulink controls project for a simplified Mars sky crane. I linearized the supplied dynamics, tuned height and pitch controllers, ran linear and nonlinear simulations, and tested a pole-placement regulator against disturbances.
MATLAB · Simulink · PID control · State-space modeling
Learn morePower transmission / component selection
A three-stage gearbox that converts a 1,180 rpm motor input into 348.95 lbf-ft at 150.5 rpm. I selected the rolling bearings and shaft-retention hardware, then analyzed the integrated design.
Bearing selection · Power transmission · Machine elements · Design analysis
Learn moreEngineering entrepreneurship / product concept
A concept for a quieter professional blower, pairing sequential impellers and a variable-geometry outlet with an entry plan for landscaping companies.
Product strategy · Fluid-flow concept · Financial modeling · Market analysis
Learn moreVehicle diagnostics / repair
Top-down troubleshooting followed by hands-on repair across major vehicle systems.
Mechanical diagnostics · Braking systems · Suspension · Cooling and A/C
Learn moreMechanical design / team project
A functional differential and coil-spring suspension assembly developed through team leadership and iterative CAD.

Learn moreThree roles built around mentorship for first-generation students and fellow engineering majors.
Lead Counselor
August 2026Served as one of eight lead counselors during orientation for more than 300 incoming first-generation students. The lead team coordinated more than 60 counselors across the program. I led counselor training and represented engineering on a student Q&A panel. I also guided a campus tour for more than 50 students.
My WhyThis scholarship program has provided me with endless opportunity, so what more fulfilling than to give back to fellow first-generation students by being a part of their transition to college.
Mechanical Engineering Advisor
August 2025 - PresentI mentor students in a chapter of more than 200 members, with support spanning coursework, career planning, mock interviews, and résumé reviews.
My WhyI want younger engineering students to have useful guidance before coursework, recruiting, or career decisions start to feel overwhelming.
MentorSHPE
August 2025 - May 2025Mentors two underclassmen through academic and career decisions. Personal challenges are handled with practical next steps drawn from prior experience.
My WhyBeing able to provide tailored one-on-one support to my mentees means steady, consistent support when it matters most.
