Welcome to my web portfolio and personal website. I'm an MIT graduate with an S.B. in Mechanical Engineering and a passion to pursue the greatest adventures I can find. I am profoundly interested in shaping the future of the transportation industry, particularly in the fields of autonomy and powertrain innovation. I work as an Autonomous Vehicle Engineer at Ford Motor Company and dedicate my skills as a test and systems engineer to bringing the safety and excitement of new autonomous driving technology to the public. Explore some of the projects I've taken on in by clicking on the photos below.

I am profoundly passionate about transforming the future of the automotive and transportation industry. I am interested in autonomy and powertrain innovations ranging from electric vehicles to emission reduction technologies and increasingly efficient internal combustion engines. I have experience in autonomous vehicle test and development, powertrain software calibration, system specification definition, large dataset analysis, and engineering to US, European, Chinese, and other Global emissions and safety regulations.

As an undergraduate, contributing to research fundamentally informed how I work today. My experience in rapid prototyping, field testing, creating new technologies, and documenting and communicating new ideas taught me the value of collaborative innovation. Today, I carry these values and skills into every project I work on.

I attended MIT from Fall 2010 to December 2014. I received my bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering and pursued a variety of classwork and extracurriculars during my academic career. The people at MIT are its greatest resources, from students to professors to machinists, everyone I met at MIT had something to teach and to share.
