Jiu Jitsu
I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and compete when I can. The feedback loop is fast and there's no faking it on the mat — same standard I try to hold myself to in the lab.

§ A — Background
An engineer's engineer — physics-trained, mechanically broad.
I started in physics at Seton Hall University, graduating December 2024 with a 3.87 GPA, all-semesters Dean's List, and Sigma Pi Sigma honors. Physics taught me the discipline that runs through everything I do now: derive from first principles, validate with the data, and don't trust a result until the math agrees with the simulation and hardware.
I'm now finishing a Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology, on track for May 2026 with a 4.00 GPA. The mechanical core is broad — design, FEA, thermal, dynamics, manufacturing — and on top of that I've completed two graduate-level certifications: a Graduate Certificate in Robotics & Control and a Graduate Certificate in Medical Devices. They pair naturally; my DoD-funded research is a robotic medical end-effector built with Medtronic and Corvid Technologies, which is exactly where those two certificates meet in practice.
Along the way I've held four concurrent roles — automation / process development engineering co-op at MICRO, mechanical design intern at EN-POWER GROUP, and a DoD-funded research assistantship under Prof. Long Wang — plus TA appointments in Fluid Mechanics (ME 342) and Engineering Analysis (ME 641).
The throughline: I learn fast, and I implement at a level that holds up to scrutiny. FEA on cam-followers, FANUC programming, AutoCAD compliance reports for $500k+ in revenue, ROS 2, Adaptive Frequency Oscillators — same person, same week, same standard.
