Introducing Myself

I’m a mechanical engineering master’s student at UC Riverside with hands-on experience in plasma systems, thermal diagnostics, and design-for-manufacturing.

My resume reflects a mix of research, industry, and leadership: from building COMSOL thermal models for Mg plasma systems, to running NADCAP/ASTM-compliant failure analyses at PCC, to redesigning CNC fixtures that saved $70K annually. I bring a balance of deep simulation skills, experimental testing, and practical manufacturing improvements.

Along the way, I’ve collaborated with companies like Element, Fluke, Williamson, Raytek, and Inductronix to validate sensor logic, troubleshoot heat-related defects, and select advanced diagnostics equipment. These experiences shaped my approach to engineering as both precise and investigative.

Recent highlights include:

• 🔧 PCC Methods Engineer — Aerospace thermal testing, failure forensics, CNC automation fixes
• 📊 Howmet Aerospace Intern — Tooling concepts for Mars rover electronics enclosures
• 🧪 Graduate Researcher — Plasma modeling, IR thermography, rotating quartz tube design
• 🚀 ASME President — Led project showcases, resume reviews, and technical design workshops
