Who Am I?
I’m a mechanical engineer passionate about robotics, manufacturing, and intelligent automation. At Huntington Ingalls Industries, I help design and modernize nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines, solving complex problems that drive real impact.
My path began at Rutgers University, where I led research in autonomous 3D printing and soft robotics before applying those same principles to rapid prototyping at CellGain Wireless. Now, through MIT’s Principles of Manufacturing program and the Oxford Machine Learning Summer School, I’m exploring how AI and advanced design can shape the future of production. Outside the lab, I find inspiration in martial arts, jewelry design, and gem faceting as crafts that mirror the precision and passion behind my engineering work.
What I do
01
Virginia class Submarine
I support the design, troubleshooting, and technical development of Virginia-class submarine systems. I am proud to be part of the team that delivered the USS Massachusetts.
04
I worked on an additive manufacturing robot concept with an unconstrained build volume, focusing on the mechanics and system design needed to enable large-format printing.

02
CAD For Fun
I like doing CAD for fun. It’s one of the ways I enjoy turning ideas into something tangible and precise.
05
I worked on soft robotics concepts with an internal frame that transitions from locally hard to locally soft, focusing on the structural design needed to control flexibility and support.

03
I work on gem faceting and designing a gem faceting machine, focusing on the practical mechanics, precision, and tooling needed to shape stones accurately.

06
Carpentry for fun
I work on hands-on carpentry tasks involving measuring, cutting, fitting, assembling, and troubleshooting wood components for functional builds and repairs.
