Projects and work from University of Toronto, internships, and personal builds. I like taking ideas through CAD, prototyping, and testing until they become something real.

Engineering Experience

A few roles and projects that shaped how I work. Most of them sit somewhere between design, manufacturing, communication, and hands-on problem solving.

May 2024 - Aug 2025

Mechanical Engineering Intern

AGS Automotive Systems

Built 20+ part and process models in SolidWorks, updated AutoCAD schematics, and used MOST time studies to support changes that cut process time by 15%.

May 2023 - Aug 2023

Design Engineering Intern

Parts Apart

Worked on product development from research to CAD, prototyping, and iteration, helping turn an early concept into a practical prototype.

Jan 2022 - Apr 2022

Communications Manager & Project Team Member

University of Toronto

Handled communication between our team and the client professor, kept documentation organized, and helped deliver a working APS112 teaching prototype.

Led shifts of up to 8 people, handled cash and customer issues, and helped train new staff during busy periods.

Education & Approach

I like projects that move from a rough idea to something real enough to build, test, and improve.

That is the thread running through most of my coursework, internships, and side projects.

About Me


My Journey

What pulled me into engineering was seeing an idea go from concept to reality. I like the stretch from CAD to prototypes, testing, and the small revisions that make something finally feel right.

Focus Areas

I am most drawn to mechatronics, manufacturing, EV systems, and product development. I like work where design, fabrication limits, performance, and team coordination all matter at once.

Creative Pursuits

Photography, writing, and cinematography are where I slow down and notice more. They sharpen the same instincts I use in engineering: composition, patience, detail, and how the finished thing will land with someone else.

Head in the Clouds

"Head in the Clouds"

Taken and modeled by me.

Time is Ticking

"Time is Ticking"

Built around a tight focus on one subject.

Jack of all Trades

"Jack of all Trades"

A photo built around symbolism.
