About
I am a Mechanical Engineer with a master's degree and experience with various aspects of the design process. For the past two years, I worked with a drone-defense company to create products that worked effectively and reliably in the field. Before that, I had a range of internships where I participated in the design and manufacture of products across multiple industries.
