About
Mechanical engineer with a deep interest in dynamical systems, numerical simulation, and precision design.
I approach engineering problems from first principles — decomposing complex systems into fundamental interactions, then building back up with mathematical rigor and computational tools.
My work spans finite element analysis, control systems, fluid dynamics, and mechanism design. I believe the best engineering is invisible: systems that work so well, you forget they're engineered.
Portfolio
