PROFESSIONAL WORK
Not Quitting My Day Job
WHY?
I am an engineer because I love the work. The roles seen below are an extension of the projects that I have pursued in and out of school and are a result of carefully crafting my work experiences to match my interests. In every role, I seek to deepen my understanding of engineering and design while also expanding my interdisciplinary skillset.
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING INTERNSHIP (SUMMER 2025)
I spent the summer of 2025 working at Oceaneering International contributing to the Navy's remotely operated Submarine Rescue System (SRDRS). Here's what I did:
-
Developed mechanical hardware in SolidWorks to support deployment of deep-sea robotic ROV systems
-
Performed FEA stress analysis in SolidWorks to validate strength of a rotating cantilevered arm
-
Engineered a welded hose guide structure to prevent hose interference during offshore ROV launches
-
Drafted engineering drawings per ASME standards for component design and manufacturing approval​
MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING INTERNSHIP (SUMMER 2024)
I spent the summer of 2024 working at Quantum Signal AI, a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company. Here’s what I did:
-
Developed electronics enclosures and sensor mounts for integration into test vehicles to support Ford R&D
-
Prototyped designs and wiring harnesses using 3D printers, laser cutters, mills, and other shop tools
-
Conducted structural FEA to increase component safety factors in an 80/20 walking platform by 30%
-
Executed system-level validation test plans and wrote in-depth technical documentation
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING INTERNSHIP (SUMMER 2023)
During the summer of 2023 I worked at AndyMark Inc. as a mechanical engineering intern. Here’s what I did:
-
Led development of mechanical robot part products such as sheet metal brackets, gears, bearing retainers, and shaft adapters, creating off-the-shelf parts for FIRST team
-
Designed a sheet metal “snap latch” product in SolidWorks which allows users to quickly connect parts without fasteners, owning progression from initial concept to a now purchasable product
-
Drafted over 40 technical drawings to communicate product details with customers and manufacturers.
STUDENT TECH AIDE
I’ve worked as a student tech aide at Northwestern’s startup incubator, The Garage, for the past three years. In this role I instruct student led startup teams on usage of 3D printers, CNC machines, laser cutters, soldering equipment, and basic shop tools to support student-led startup product development.
