Background

I am completing an MSc in Multi-Machine Engineering at TU Delft in 2027, after earning a BSc in Mechanical Engineering magna cum laude from Northeastern University in 2025.

Across three engineering co-ops, I designed consumer products at SharkNinja, built manufacturing tools at Boyd and designed advanced materials at Hexcel / ARC Technologies.

Alongside engineering, I have spent years performing and recording on keys with jazz, funk and fusion bands.

Current focus Mobility systems, public transport and transport simulation

Working with Python, MATLAB/Simulink, SolidWorks, Arduino, agent-based modelling, optimization, PID and MPC
