Behind the projects

A little about me.

My background is in mechanical engineering, with graduate research in cardiovascular modeling at UC Davis. I'm interested in how thoughtful mechanical design, embedded systems, and simulation can work together.

This portfolio follows three projects as their documentation develops, from CAD assemblies and physical prototypes to model architecture and experimental outputs.

Let's connect.

Contact details, professional links, and a résumé will be added as this portfolio takes shape.
