About Me
I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at Virginia Tech with experience in product design, CAD, surveying, and construction engineering. I like taking a rough idea, sketching it, modeling it in CAD, and pushing it through to a working prototype. That loop from concept to something you can hold is what got me into mechanical engineering in the first place.
