I'm an Engineer
About
I'm a mechanical engineering student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a passion for building things that move, respond, and interact. Whether I am building robots, working on embedded systems, designing surf-tracking cameras, or prototyping with 3D printing, I enjoy working with hardware, programming, and using creative problem-solving.
Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics
I love the process of turning technical ideas into functional reality. I’m motivated by curiosity and finding solutions to difficult problems. I have a passion for math, physics, and electro-mechanical design.

I’ve spent my Cal Poly curriculum strengthening my skills in design, prototyping, and analysis; learning by doing and building projects. I enjoy applying engineering concepts in hands-on scenarios, whether that's doing the various labs Cal Poly offers or being challenged through personal projects/team collaboration. When I’m not working on something technical, I like to spend time outdoors surfing, hiking, or climbing.
