Experience & qualifications
My path connects mechanical engineering, aerospace manufacturing, construction, and the integration of complex systems.
I’m a mechanical engineer at NSWCPD through the DoD SMART Scholarship and an aerospace engineering graduate student at Villanova. I value careful technical work, clear documentation, and taking a project from an idea to something that works.
Experience
July 2026–present
Mechanical engineer / DoD SMART Scholar
Working on ship navigation systems, testing, and integration at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The role has expanded my experience with electronics, sensors, data connections, and the practical work of supporting a complete system.
