About

Background

I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at Florida State University (GPA 3.9, Dean's List) pursuing a minor in Physics. My work spans high-pressure research, precision CAD, hands-on machining, and mechatronics prototyping.

Since December 2025, I've been conducting undergraduate research in supercritical CO₂ systems — designing pressure vessels from first principles and managing complex multi-interface assemblies.

Leadership & Involvement

Brotherhood Chair at Theta Tau (Phi Delta Chapter) — gaining experience in a hands-on leadership role, organizing events for 100+ people. Active member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

Target Roles

Pursuing internship and co-op opportunities in aerospace and product development — roles focused on analytical problem-solving, precision fabrication, and data systems.
