UT Austin · now

Robotics student researching humanoids in the Human Centered Robotics Lab. TA for senior design, mentor to student projects.

Tesla ×2

Two internships — Mechanical Engineer, then Software Data Engineer. Worked on Model S/3/X/Y and one of the first 10 Cybertrucks.

Fortive

Project Engineer at Hengstler Dynapar. Helped with a plant acquisition, directly in charge of 2 cells with ~$500k/month revenue. Fastest way I've ever learned a factory from the shop floor up.

Pack Motorsports · FSAE

Two years on the aero team. CAD → CFD, FEA → a whole lotta carbon fiber. I built race cars before I built products.

NC State

BS Mech E with a CS minor. Two research lab positions: one where I taught cars to drive themselves with RL, and one where I designed and 3D-printed lung phantoms out of hydrogel.
