About.

I’m a mechanical engineering student at Tufts University interested in understanding how complex physical systems work and turning that understanding into things I can actually build and test. I’m especially drawn to mechanical design, vehicle dynamics, turbomachinery, manufacturing, and mechatronics.

Most of the projects I enjoy begin with either a problem I have experienced firsthand or a system I want to understand more deeply. From there, I like working through the full engineering process: defining requirements, applying physics and analysis, developing geometry in CAD, considering manufacturability, building the hardware, and testing whether the design performs as intended. My suspension linkage, electrically compressed jet engine, and automated squash launcher have all pushed me through that process in different ways.

What interests me most is the iteration that happens once a design leaves the computer. Manufacturing constraints, unexpected failures, test data, and user feedback often reveal things that were impossible to see in CAD, and those lessons are usually what shape the next version.

Outside engineering, I spend much of my time mountain biking, hiking, playing squash, and making music. Mountain biking in particular has shaped the way I think about engineering because it combines mechanics, performance, and constant feedback from the rider.

I also value the communities that form around these interests. Working in a local bike shop, competing in squash, and learning alongside other builders have made collaboration and sharing knowledge an important part of how I approach both engineering and everyday life.
