About
I'm a creative mechanical engineer with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and over 10 years of CAD and engineering experience—7 in industry and 3 in education. I’ve contributed to cutting-edge consumer electronics at Microsoft, SpaceX, and NASA, with a strong focus on hardware development and product design. I love exploring new ideas and applying my skills in 3D modeling, 2D drawings, and innovative problem-solving. I'm especially interested in freelance and collaborative projects that bring together design, engineering, and entrepreneurship.
