Structural analysis, machine design, and simulation, with the assumptions, load cases, and numbers behind each result.
I am a mechanical engineering student at the University of Illinois, drawn to the point where analysis meets hardware: sizing a part from its worst-case load, proving a simulation result is real before I trust it, and carrying a design through to something that can actually be built. My work spans vehicle structures, production tooling, and applied machine learning for manufacturing.
I currently lead the suspension and brakes subsystem on Illini EV Concept, and I have designed production hardware at Volvo Construction Equipment and Schindler. My interests sit in mechanical systems, vehicle engineering, and manufacturing, and I like problems where the analysis and the hardware both have to be right.

A powered fixture I designed end to end at Volvo CE to rotate and hold a 40 kg hydraulic joint on the assembly line, from concept through a full drivetrain and welded frame.

An image classifier I built solo to flag defective castings, with an honest look at the severity-scoring problem that classical vision couldn't solve.

The control-arm mounting brackets I designed on an EV front knuckle, sized for the corner's load path and validated across three load cases in SOLIDWORKS.

A sheet-metal bracket for a raised elevator fan, checked against the fan's own excitation frequency to rule out resonance.
