About
Third-year Mechanical Engineering student at Northeastern University, looking for a co-op from January to June 2027.
At DuPont Water Solutions, I rewrote a standard ultrafiltration skid drawing set in Autodesk Inventor, adapted it into the first custom build, and released 14 drawing sheets through Autodesk Vault. Right now, I'm assembling an SO-101 robot arm and redesigning its leader handle in SolidWorks.
I'm most interested in R&D and product design.
Experience
All drawings referenced above are the property of DuPont and are not reproduced here.
Projects
I assembled both arms of the open-source SO-101 as the team's mechanical engineer. The leader arm's trigger drives the gripper 1:1, and I measured its 111° stroke as the baseline for an ergonomic redesign.
The stock handle strains the thumb, so I designed a tool-free magnetic interface in SolidWorks that makes the handle modular. Torque goes through a drafted square boss, and the first print seated as designed.

We built a passive fog collector modeled on the Namib desert beetle's shell. Raised bumps were coated with TiO2 and the valleys sealed, to copy the wetting contrast that makes droplets form and run off. Across four prototypes in SolidWorks, the third, a PLA+ funnel, collected about 40% more water than the second.
I owned the analysis. Four 30-minute trials averaged 5.5 mL, and I benchmarked the output in MATLAB against 11 plant water categories. The estimate was that the design could support 5 of them.
An interactive game about the 2021 Ever Given grounding, built for middle-school students. I designed the Arduino control system. A potentiometer drives a servo through a linkage so players rotate the stuck ship, and an RGB light changes with the servo position.
I also ran the project schedule. The model was housed in laser-cut and 3D-printed parts.
Skills
Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Autodesk Vault
MATLAB, Arduino, C++, Excel
3D printing (FDM and SLA), laser cutting, surface coating
Personal
I grew up in Fort Myers, Florida, and moved to Boston for school. I'm open to relocating for the right role, and I travel solo whenever I get the chance.
Backpacking, snowboarding, fishing, golf and soccer.
Classical guitar. Learning German, with some Italian and Spanish.
Pi Kappa Phi, ASME and Math Club. Mentored 100+ students over three years through Canterbury School's after-school and summer programs.
