I am a Mechanical Engineer with about 4 years of professional industry experience as well as a Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Mechatronics and a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering with minors in Robotics and Mathematics. I have extensive experience in the additive manufacturing industry working with a variety of materials including metals, polymers, wood, sand and more as well as experience in robotics and laboratory automation.

I also have an unusual background in antique automotives as my family has a large collection of microcars which are small and eclectic vehicles mostly from Europe in the 50's and 60's, but the collection has grown and expanded beyond. Some of these vehicles can be seen in my profile banner. Growing up with these cars is what sparked my passion and inspired me to pursue a career in mechanical engineering. I have always enjoyed figuring out how things work and designing new concepts as a child and I have continued to develop those interests throughout my life.
