About
I am a freshly graduated Mechanical Engineer looking to work in mechanical design, manufacturing, and tooling positions. I already have real world experience with the manufacturing workflow from design, prototyping, tooling, and sustain engineering. I love working with new technologies to solve future problems, and I frequently solve problems in unique ways that exceed my client’s expectations and time frame.
