Featured Work
Princeton Identity: Product Design Intern
Designed mechanical enclosures and an auto-focusing calibration rig for biometric-authentication hardware, improving iris-detection camera calibration accuracy and time by 30%.
5-DOF Robotic Arm with Computer Vision
A five-degree-of-freedom robotic arm that uses computer vision to detect, locate, and manipulate objects.
FRC Team 1403: Mechanical Captain
Directed a 15-member team through robot design and manufacturing, earning 3 district-level awards including the Regional Chairman's Award.
CUBE × Optura AI: Workshop Mode
Advised startup Optura AI as a CUBE technical consultant, then joined Optura's team as a Technical Product Intern to help build the product.
Mettler Toledo: R&D Intern
Designed and validated pressure-sensor connectors in PTC Creo, reducing pressure leakage by 80% across controlled bench testing.
About
I'm a mechanical engineering student at UIUC, most recently designing biometric-authentication hardware at Princeton Identity and building a vision-guided robotic arm with a friend over the summer. For summer 2027, I'm most interested in robotics and mechatronics roles, though I'm open to hardware, product, and AI-focused engineering internships more broadly.
