I come from a hands-on background: In high school, I rebuilt San Francisco city-bus components and machined parts for my robotics team. In college, I spent dozens of hours each week designing and fabricating high-tolerance, lightweight components for Purdue’s racecar. These experiences built not only technical expertise but also engineering intuition—a foundation I carry into every project. 

 

Between robotics, racing, and engine development, I learned there is no substitute for good design ethos, thorough testing, and leading teams toward a shared goal. ​
