ABOUT ME

Enthusiastic mechanical engineering student at the University of Toronto. Experienced in designing and delivering real-world mechanical systems across robotics, aerospace, and sustainable energy applications.


My work spans high-precision motion systems, heavy-lift aerial platforms, and solar microgrid infrastructure, where I have led projects from first-principles design through ideation, analysis, fabrication, and validation. I bring strong expertise in advanced SolidWorks assemblies, structural FEA, additive and composite manufacturing, and quantitative system modeling in Python and MATLAB, supported by experience translating technical analysis into client-ready engineering decisions.
