ABOUT ME

I’m a Mechanical Engineering student at Cal Poly Pomona with a passion for themed entertainment and animatronic design. I love bringing ideas to life through hands-on fabrication, mechanical systems, and creative problem-solving. My projects range from building interactive characters like Jim the Animatronic Skeleton to designing miniature ride systems and custom metal or wood displays. I enjoy combining storytelling and engineering to create experiences that move, engage, and inspire. As I continue developing my technical and creative skills, my goal is to design and build mechanical systems that blend imagination with precision engineering.
