​In July 2022, I took an introductory flight lesson at Front Range Flight School in Colorado. Sitting in the pilot seat gave me a new perspective—both literally and professionally—and sparked my deep interest in aerospace. That moment pushed me to explore flight systems from both the engineering and operational sides.

​

Driven by curiosity, I’ve toured leading aerospace facilities, including Gulfstream Aerospace in Savannah, Boeing’s MRO site in Florida, and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. Each visit expanded my understanding of how advanced technology and passionate people come together to build the future of flight.

​

Today, I am a Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer at Thule Group with 8 years of experience spanning product development, CAD-based prototyping, and manufacturing support in cleanroom-adjacent environments. I hold a B.S. in Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Summa Cum Laude) and am currently pursuing a Master’s in Artificial Intelligence at Johns Hopkins University, combining mechanical engineering with modern software and intelligent systems.

 

I am skilled in MATLAB, Simulink, LabVIEW, NI Multisim, and Arduino for generating test profiles and analyzing system performance. My programming experience includes Python, C++, C#, and Java, and I am proficient in SolidWorks, CATIA, and AutoCAD for CAD prototyping and engineering documentation. I also work extensively with ERP systems, including SAP, Oracle, Infor M3, and Odoo, to ensure accurate material management and production support.

 

Outside of engineering, I enjoy hiking, skiing, biking, and soccer—activities that keep me grounded and remind me to keep exploring. I am passionate about inspiring the next generation of STEM professionals and leveraging technology to build a more connected, innovative world.
