I am a mechanical engineering student who enjoys solving real world problems through design, testing, and building. Whether it is a personal project or a team build, I like turning ideas into feasible, purposeful solutions. My focus areas are CAD design, finite element analysis and simulation, and manufacturing, and I am especially interested in seeing a design through to a real, manufactured product.
I recently completed a Production Engineering Internship at Cleaveland/Price Inc., where I ran 180+ time studies and built tools and templates to standardize data collection across the shop floor. I am continuing to grow as an engineer and leader through Rensselaer Motorsport (FSAE), where I lead a 5-person aerodynamics sub-team developing a multi-element wing design, and through my role as Director of IT at Sen Engineering Solutions.
Outside of studies and professional work, I study the cello, work out at the gym, and try to learn something new every day, whether it is photography, web design, marketing, or another new skill.

Professional Skills
Production Engineering Intern — Cleaveland/Price Inc.
- Conducted 180+ time studies across press brakes, saws, CNC mills, CNC lathes, and cabinet assembly, timing 30+ operators and breaking each job into setup, per-part run time, and cleanup to capture cycle times and process variables
- Audited standard job times against actual time to flag discrepancies, surfacing opportunities for process improvement and part cost savings
- Built two job time calculators that estimate production time from part characteristics and process parameters, replacing judgment-based estimates to support more reliable routing and quoting
- Developed two AI agents in Microsoft Copilot AI Builder to standardize individual time-study files into one dataset and run trend analysis linking part and process variables (material, thickness) to job time
- Documented shop-floor inefficiencies and operator feedback that fed facility planning for a new building and shop floor layout decisions
- Applied lean manufacturing principles including 5S and the 8 wastes
