I am a creative, analytical, design-oriented mechanical engineer with a passion for creating innovative and aesthetic products with robust functionality and empathy for the user. I work at the juncture of front-end conceptualization and back-end detailed execution, with experience bringing products through the full product life cycle.

I have 10 years of experience designing injection molded, sheet metal, and machined parts as well as complex assemblies. I have acted as a project lead and contributed as a team member on a wide variety of products ranging from medical to consumer and electronics.

I have also been a mentor to junior engineers and direct manager of multiple interns while establishing and running the co-op program with Northeastern.

I also love to write, learn, get outside and be active.

Based in San Francisco, CA.
