I am a fourth-year student studying mechanical engineering and computer science at Northeastern, where I combine mechanical design with software to create mechatronic systems. I have industry and project experience rapidly prototyping with SolidWorks, manufacturing with 3D printing and CNC machining, and writing software in Python and Java for embedded systems and for R&D testing and data analysis.
A Raspberry Pi-controlled, two-axis camera gimbal accurate to within 1/1600 of a degree that tracks the motion of the night sky to enable long-exposure astrophotography.

A liquid rocket engine that channels propellant through the nozzle to prevent overheating; Binder-jet 3D-printed from steel and machined to tight tolerances to endure extreme temperatures and pressures.
An enclosure for an ePaper display to show information about the office coffee makers. A 2-part 3D-printed clamshell design and a custom designed PCB simplify the assembly process and provide a clean look.
Developing mathematical models for large-scale, cold-chain logistics systems by conducting extensive testing and writing software to compile and analyze the resulting data.
Rapidly prototyped machine vision systems and electronic test fixtures in SolidWorks, and wrote Python analysis software for controlled experiments that informed final design decisions for ePaper displays.
