Thanks for stopping by my online portfolio! Here, you can find longer descriptions of my previous and current work than what fits onto my resume or LinkedIn, accompanied by more links and photos.

About Me

I am a Senior Engineering Physics student at Cornell University interested in pursuing an accelerated M.Eng in Mechanical Engineering and gaining professional experience in hardware design for sensor-rich and autonomous systems. During the past three years, I have designed several underwater pressure vessels for Cornell’s AUV team, iterated over several prototypes of eDNA samplers and underwater acoustic systems at Acbotics Research, and optimized a high-energy x-ray experimental apparatus in the Franck Lab at Cornell to measure Intra-Atomic Bremsstrahlung (IAB). I am drawn towards projects with unique constraints and challenging environments where I can leverage my applied physics background to inform my designs.

I am currently seeking Summer 2027 internships in robotics, aerospace, and hardware R&D as well as full-time employment starting in Spring 2028.

Outside of classes and engineering projects, I enjoy running, hiking, and being outdoors! When the weather is warm, I like planning small camping trips and day hikes. Once colder winter days arrive, I can be found teaching new tabletop games to my friends or reading from my chess book library.
