About

I am a fourth-year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison offering freelance CAD and mechanical design services. Through multiple industry internships and co-op experiences, I have developed strong proficiency in 3D solid modeling, assembly design, and technical drawing creation using SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Fusion 360.

My background includes concept development, detailed part and assembly design, and drawing release for automotive, automation, and manufacturing applications. In addition to my professional experience, I am an active member of Wisconsin Racing, UW-Madison’s Formula SAE program, where I work hands-on to design, manufacture, and validate a competitive electric vehicle. This combination of industry exposure and applied engineering experience allows me to deliver practical, manufacturable CAD solutions tailored to real-world requirements.
