Welcome to My Portfolio!
This is a portfolio highlighting some of my selected engineering projects. It includes my experience, education, and contact information. My full resume is available for download in the tabs above, along with links to detailed project pages.
About Me
I am a senior mechanical engineering student at the University of California, Riverside, conducting research in the Robotics and Medical Systems Laboratory. My interests lie at the intersection of robotics and medical device development.
In my free time, I enjoy walking along Southern California beaches and exploring nearby coastal cities.
