About Me

I'm a recent college graduate who received a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley.

I have many project interests. These are just some examples. In general, if the project description is interesting I will be full-on passionate about the project.

  1. I am also interested in the biomechanics of people and designing medical devices that help people live life to their fullest. This interest is what motivated me to take a hand prosthetics course at UC Berkeley.

  2. I am also interested in designing technology to help fight climate change. This interest has led me to join UC Berkeley's Space Technologies Club at Cal, specifically the High Altitude Balloon team.

  3. I am interested in using modal analysis and finite element analysis to help instrument makers optimize their designs before building them. This comes from my interest in Mechatronics and the art of making Ukuleles.

Coursework Projects

Learn about the coursework projects I have completed in my engineering student journey. This includes projects related to mechanical design, mechanical analysis, programming, electronics, fabrication, and animation. I demonstrate my ability to apply my engineering theory to a real-world application for each project.

Examples:

Design using SolidWorks, PTC Creo | Analysis & Testing & Programming using Matlab, Python, Excel | Implementation with Microcontrollers | etc.
