things i'm building.
mold insert redesign
$67,500 saved / yrredesigned exchangeable mold inserts to remove water-system interference, unlocking floor-level part changeovers without t&d involvement, cutting downtime across 1,500+ annual changeovers.
telemetry data pipeline
raw logs, cleaned signalengineered a python based data pipeline from scratch to process raw vehicle telemetry logs, computing damper velocity via numerical differentiation and smoothing signal noise ahead of chassis and suspension validation reviews.
moldflow simulation fix
caught before mold designcaught a shrinkage simulation running nearly double what we'd validated in production, traced it to a 20 MPa pressure gap, and flagged it before it shaped a mold to the wrong spec.
the quad
targeting fall pilotco-building a campus connection sms-based system, pre-launch. i own concept, legal setup, naming, campus validation, and marketing, plus hands-on coding and AI tooling work; my collaborator leads the backend and matching logic.
everything else i'm doing.
mracing formula sae
data ops + chassis on the team. built a python pipeline to process telemetry data and validated torsional stiffness at ~1,200 nm/deg. found my people during late night shop layups!
director of communications, ESG
grew ESG's reach to 25K+ views and 6,770+ accounts in 90 days across 10K+ engineering students. plan 5+ events a semester because i like being busy!
social + content design
run ESG's social media and build content strategy from scratch. also make posts and visual content for other orgs and companies on the side. want a demo or examples? reach out!
adobe student ambassador
official excuse to keep messing around in adobe express and creative suite. badge and rewards are just a bonus.
college of engineering student tour leader
gave 52+ tours to 1,000+ prospective students and families. trained the next round of guides too.
co-organizing a women's+ hackathon @ umich
36 hours, sponsors, judges, chaos, planning for early 2027 with a great team behind it. if you're a woman+ @ umich and want to help make this happen, reach out!
for the curious.
i'm a rising junior studying mechanical engineering @ umich, graduating may 2028. most of what i do lives at the intersection of hardware, software, and design: chassis validation on one side, figma and python on the other.
i'm extroverted to a fault, which is probably why half my "engineering" work is actually community building: running comms for ESG, giving campus tours, co-organizing a hackathon.
good networking is just making friends who happen to be doing cool things!
i'd rather build something that could fail spectacularly than climb something safe. the quad is my proof of concept. hiring for marketing, content, or growth roles? reach out!
why the gap between CAD and code
i've never been able to stay in one box! i want to be the one running the tests and iterating on a design, not trusting someone else's numbers. i want to write the code that turns raw data into an answer, and design the slides and user flows that explain it, instead of handing any piece of that off. mechanical engineering taught me to build things that have to survive the real world. software lets me move at the speed my curiosity actually wants to! design means what i make doesn't just work, it's legible. so i keep building across all three and let the throughline show itself.
a few things i like
race weekend
current food obsession
smoky mountains
chicago, w/ my cofounder & bsf
hiking, obviously
