01 / About

I don't just design systems.
I make them measurably better.

Two years on shop floors, inside FEA solvers, and in the middle of production problems that had no clean answer. I've watched tolerance stack-ups fail a robot mid-gait. I redesigned chassis geometry at night because the FEA said it would hold, and the field said it wouldn't. I've argued with machinists, been wrong, and come back with better drawings.

My work spans industrial machinery, robotics, and electric vehicles — measured by outcomes, not deliverables: scrap rates cut, downtime eliminated, systems that survived the field when the lab said they should.

Graduated with my MS in Mechanical Engineering from UT Dallas on May 18, 2026. Based in Dallas, TX. Open to wherever the hardest problems are.

How it all started: My grandfather was a steel rolling mill consultant. I grew up surrounded by engineering drawings before I could read them — watching steel get molded, shaped, hammered into form. That is what engineering looked like to me from the beginning: not abstract, not academic, just material being forced into purpose. My father started his career making fasteners and worked his way up to machining heavy engineering parts. Both of them are a deep inspiration to me. They showed me that the most meaningful work happens at the intersection of hands and mind — where you understand the material, respect the process, and take responsibility for the outcome.

I’m always open to startup and co-founder conversations in tech or manufacturing. If you’re building something in these spaces, let’s talk.

05 / Why Hire Me

What I actually bring

01
I've been on both sides of the drawing
Two years spanning design and the shop floor. I know what it looks like when a GD&T callout creates three hours of machinist confusion — because I've been in the room when it happens. My drawings don't need explaining.
02
Everything I do has a number attached
Not "improved process efficiency" — cycle time from 6.2 to 5.1 hrs, scrap rate from 8.5% to 2.1%, downtime from 48 to 17 hrs. If I can't measure it, I don't claim it. If I claimed it, I measured it.
03
I run FEA before metal gets cut
25+ shaft assemblies analyzed pre-build. 12 interferences caught before a single part was ordered. $8K in scrap prevented. Analysis isn't a post-failure tool in my workflow — it's the gate before fabrication starts.
04
I work across three industries
Industrial machinery, robotics, electric vehicles — in two years. Each domain has different constraints, different failure modes, different stakeholders. I've adapted quickly every time, and brought methods from one that the others hadn't seen.
05
My documentation doesn't create questions
40+ assemblies delivered with GD&T callouts that cut shop-floor clarification calls by 85%. The HexaPod has work instructions detailed enough that any new person could build it to the same spec. Good documentation is free rework prevention.
06
Graduate coursework running alongside production experience
MS in Mechanical Engineering from UT Dallas, graduated May 18, 2026 — combined with hands-on industry time that most new graduates don't have. Current methods, real constraints. Both at once.

06 / Beyond the Blueprint

The Full Picture

Engineering is the pursuit. But the person behind the engineer is shaped by everything else — community drives, long road trips, temple visits, and sitting with people who have nowhere to be.
