I am a second year Mechanical Engineering student at UC Berkeley focused on hands on design and manufacturing. I work on Berkeley Formula Racing, where I design suspension components, welding jigs, and test hardware for a competition vehicle. Our team placed third overall at a national competition in Michigan and is recognized nationwide as a top competitive engineering team. I also lead a subteam on MotoStudent, coordinating CAD, fabrication, and system integration for a race motorcycle prototype. I have conducted engineering research at San Diego State University, an R1 research institution ranked in the top five percent of U.S. universities, with over 230 million dollars in annual research funding. My research supported experimental combustion work, nanoparticle analysis, and simulation validation using laboratory instrumentation. My work blends CAD, machining, testing, and data driven problem solving to build systems that perform in the real world.
