About
Thank you for visiting my website! Iām a 4th-year Mechanical Engineering undergrad at San Diego State University, looking for full-time roles starting in summer 2026.
I have about a year of professional experience across several internships. At Tesla, I worked on a ground-up vehicle program on the integration team, which gave me solid exposure to high-volume production. Last summer I joined Amidon Heavy Industries, a pre-seed startup building fleets of autonomous underwater and surface robots for commercial ocean-infrastructure monitoring; I had a lot of ownership and hands-on build/test. Iām currently at Kunin, a pre-seed startup where Iām responsible for modeling, fluids analysis, and BOM/CAPEX buildout for a spiral-wound, nanofiber-based ion-exchange module for selective ionic separations. The technology will be initially deployed in the mining industry. I have also held several leadership positions in my schools FSAE EV team up until this year
Outside of building cool stuff Iām into triathlon, skiing, sailing, travel, a lot of good food, and going to the beach with my friends!
