The work that energizes me most is work with visible impact: tooling that removes friction for a team, sustainable mechanical systems, infrastructure that supports a community, or simulation frameworks that make testing possible before something is ever built. I'm motivated by engineering that leaves the whiteboard.

I'm drawn to constrained environments where mechanical, software, and physical systems overlap. I enjoy diving into multifaceted problems and learning whatever is necessary to integrate them cleanly, whether that means mechanical design, embedded hardware, simulation, or building custom tooling to close the loop.

I have a strong inclination toward automation. If a process can be parameterized, structured, or reduced to a repeatable system, I want to build the tool that makes it scalable. From parametric CAD generation to simulation export pipelines, I'm interested not only in solving a problem once, but in designing a framework that solves it consistently.

My foundation in spatial reasoning and structured design began long before formal engineering training. Years of building mechanical systems and working in CAD from an early age shaped how I approach problems: define constraints clearly, use simple primitives intelligently, and iterate until the system is coherent. That mindset now carries across everything I build.

I'm most at home working hands-on, prototyping, testing, refining, and tightening feedback loops until something works cleanly in the real world. My goal is to contribute to high-impact engineering systems where structure, performance, and real-world usefulness intersect.
