About Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m a Mechanical Engineering graduate student at UW\u2013Madison (expected May 2027) and a Professional Engineer-in-Training. My work centers on drones, automation, and controls \u2014 from leading mechanical design on an autonomous racing quadcopter to designing test equipment for production lines at Sub-Zero and Silgan Containers. I like projects where mechanical design, electronics, and code all have to work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
