Hello & thanks for visiting my portfolio!
I'm a highly motivated fourth-year Mechanical Engineering student at Kennesaw State University with a passion for innovation and problem-solving. Actively involved in Formula SAE, I continuously refine my technical skills while thriving in a dynamic, team-driven environment. With a strong foundation in engineering principles, I bring critical thinking, attention to detail, and a commitment to precision in every project I undertake.

EXPERIENCE
Jan 2024 - Present
Kennesaw Motorsports (FSAE)
Aerodynamicist
-
Actively engaged with the Aerodynamics subgroup, where I focus on optimizing aerodynamic devices such as the front and rear wings, along with their mounting systems. I utilize Star-CCM+ to run half-car simulations that characterize and quantify key aerodynamic properties, guiding design decisions with data-driven insights. Beyond aerodynamics, I work closely with the Composites subgroup to integrate considerations of manufacturability, material selection, and structural integrity, ensuring that designs are both high-performing and feasible. This interdisciplinary collaboration has strengthened my ability to approach engineering challenges from multiple perspectives and align performance goals with practical execution. -
Proficient working with SolidWorks FEA, Flow Simulation, and experienced with large assemblies.
