Design project
Truss Bridge Design
Designed and modeled a structural bridge in Fusion 360, applying statics and load-path principles to study how forces travel through the members and refine the structure for strength and material efficiency.

Design, test, learn, improve.
I’m drawn to engineering work that turns an idea into a physical design, tests it, and uses the results to make the next version better.
I’m a Mechanical Engineering student at San José State University currently studying thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, two subjects I’m especially interested in developing further. I’m also building experience in statics, dynamics, strength of materials, and mechanical design. I bring hands-on curiosity, clear communication, and experience coordinating with teams in fast-paced workplaces.

Selected engineering work
Coursework and independent concepts that show how I approach measurement, modeling, and design.
Group research & design
Wind-Powered Microgrids
Co-authored a proposal for modular wind-powered microgrids that could keep critical rural facilities operating during grid outages. My turbine research compared onshore and offshore blade geometry, foundation systems, environmental loading, and material choices including GFRP, CFRP, concrete, and steel.

MATLAB coursework
MATLAB Data Analysis
Used MATLAB to calculate values and graph how a wind turbine produces more power as wind speed increases. This project helped me practice using formulas, organizing data, and turning calculations into a clear visual.
