Senior Mechanical Engineer
Opto-Mechanical · Robotics · Defense · Space
Engineering complex systems at the intersection of optics, mechanics, and robotics, from guided munitions to deep-sea robots to autonomous UAVs.
Background
I'm a Senior Mechanical Engineer with deep expertise in opto-mechanical design, precision engineering, and robotics. My career spans the full engineering lifecycle, from initial concept and analysis through fabrication, integration, and field deployment.
I've contributed to programs in defense, space systems, biomedical devices, and autonomous platforms. I thrive on solving technically demanding problems in multi-disciplinary teams where mechanical design must interface tightly with optics, electronics, and software.
Outside of engineering, I'm an avid mechanical puzzle designer and solver, participating in the International Puzzle Party (IPP) where I design and exchange original puzzles with makers worldwide.
