As a Physicist and Engineer, I bring a unique blend of technical proficiency and a deep understanding of the laws of physics to my work. With a Master of Science degree in experimental nuclear physics from the University of Notre Dame and a Master of Science degree in aerospace engineering from SUNY University at Buffalo, my educational background lays a strong foundation for my expertise. Combining analytical prowess and engineering excellence, I seamlessly merge creativity and technical expertise to craft functional and aesthetically pleasing solutions. On my website, you will discover a showcase of my expertise through captivating CAD designs, innovative projects, and engaging mathematical simulations.

Driven by necessity and fueled by curiosity, I am self‑taught in AutoCAD and have refined my skills through work, research, hands‑on projects, and sheer enjoyment. With 5+ years CAD experience, I now work fluently in AutoCAD, Fusion 360, and SOLIDWORKS. As a 3D-printing enthusiast, I often challenge myself to create aesthetically pleasing and functional designs. Find here a showcase of what I’ve built, and what I’m most proud of.

As an engineer, I am fascinated by integrating hardware and software to create fun robotic systems. I enjoy designing control systems, creating custom electronics, programming embedded systems, and finding new and interesting ways to interface with different actuators and sensors. These projects have given me experience with full-develpment cycle, including systems engineering, mechatronics design, integration, and testing. 

I simulate a broad range of computational physics and astrodynamics topics, including computational fluid dynamics, classical mechanics, electro-optical observations, and three-body dynamics. Using tools like MATLAB and Python, I build models that help analyze and predict complex system behaviors. These simulations deepen my understanding and support the design of robust, efficient solutions.
