About Me

I am an Engineering Physics student with a deep curiosity for mechanical design, prototyping, and material science. I thrive in environments where complex physical systems meet tangible engineering challenges.

From designing automation end-effectors with the Canadian Space Agency to manufacturing bio-composite foiling vessels, my work is driven by one core philosophy: Curiosity everyday.

I'm actively working to build a future where rigorous physics and beautiful design principles create scalable, high-performance systems.
