About

MY BACKGROUND

          I am Mechanical Engineer raised in Boston, MA, with my BSME from Northeastern University. I have professional experience in both the aerospace and robotics industries, with a focus in mechanical design, data analysis, and rapid prototyping. 

––––

​

Over the past 5 years, I have gained valuable industry experience as a mechanical engineer at both a startup drone technology company called MatrixSpace, and in the robotics/automation industry at Amazon Robotics, where I was able to apply my formal education as a member of interdisciplinary teams of career engineers. Here I got accustomed to both the feel of a small company with dynamic timelines, and how to maximize my contribution to large scale programs at one of the worlds largest companies. 

​

Throughout my undergrad degree at Northeastern University, I led the structures team of Northeastern Electric Racing (FSAE), where engineers, computer scientists, and business men/women design, fabricate and race an electric race car. My biggest contribution was the delivery the 2024 competition year chassis, where I completed the design, and oversaw the logistics/fabrication requirements. Here, I have gained skills in mechanical design, fabrication, project management, and leadership.

​

I have always sought to learn from the leaders I work with, in Boy Scouts, engineering clubs, co-ops, and in my personal life, so that when the need is presented, and/or I feel compelled to do so, I can be an effective leader and advance the groups goals. Earning the rank of Eagle Scout when I was 17, leading a team within Northeastern Electric Racing as the Head Structures Engineer, and serving as the Vice President of a STEM fraternity local to Northeastern University, are some examples of how I have achieved this continuous goal.

Starting February 2025, I will be working at GE Aerospace, as part of the Edison Engineering Development Program, contributing full-time to aircraft engine development, completing advanced courses in engineering, building core technical leadership skills, and working towards a masters degree.
