I lead a rule-driven, parametric mold design pipeline that cuts timelines from weeks to hours (often under 10% of the usual). My work covers parting and shut-offs, core and cavity design, runner and gate sizing, ejector planning, and cooling concepts tuned for cycle time and dimensional stability. The process is deterministic, versioned, and built for rapid revisions with minimal rework. Recent highlight: a 1,000-piece medical component taken from design to a validated pilot.

Activities and Societies:
ASME Student Chapter, Product Design & Manufacturing Club, Formula Student (Design Team), CAD/CAM & Prototyping Lab, Engineering Entrepreneurship Club
B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on product design and manufacturing. Core coursework included manufacturing processes, materials science, machine design, engineering drawing & GD&T, metrology, heat transfer, and finite element analysis. Capstone and labs emphasized mold-ready part design, tolerance stacks, drawing packages, and hands-on prototyping (machining and 3D printing). Built strong habits in documentation, calculation discipline, and design-for-production thinking. Graduated with Excellent.
