About

Hi! I'm a Junior at Duke University studying Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Robotics & Automation. I'm passionate about water polo, Sierra Nevada backpacking, and the human impact of engineering -- something I've experienced firsthand through my work with Duke Engineers for International Development. I'm looking for a Summer 2026 internship where I can continue using my engineering skills to drive positive change.

Engineering just for fun

Nyakuza Suspended Bridge

Alongside industry professionals and local Swazi stonemasons, I designed and constructed the longest footbridge in the nation of Eswatini (128m), which serves 3024 community members. Prior to construction I led the design team, using AutoCAD and Excel for design iteration and structural analysis. On-site, I oversaw all land surveying and contributed to each stage of construction including masonry, anchor construction, and deck installation.

Ultrasound-Guided CVC Alignment

My team collaborated with a Duke Health trauma surgeon to develop a mechanical alignment device prototype for ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization, a procedure with >500k serious complications annually. I worked on CAD, prototyping, and testing for both the device itself and a series of tissue-mimicking phantoms.

FRC Team 7667

As Mechanical Lead of a 10+ member robotics team, I managed all mechanical system design, fabrication, and testing. I personally modeled, built, and integrated a 3-DOF lever arm, a custom gearbox, and a pneumatic system with an end effector and handbrake.

Side Projects

Some smaller projects that I made just for fun: A GIS-informed wooden topographical map of Yosemite National Park, a welded Duke Football spear, a floating water polo goal, and a stylized 3D-modeled chess set.
