Mechanical Engineer | Automotive Enthusiast

I have always been a project/goal oriented person, and find myself especially invested in projects that allow me to utilize my creative skills while advancing myself technically. I like to think of these as ‘passion projects’.

After numerous projects of increasing complexity, my interests have largely become focused on the automotive sphere. This was cemented as a passion of mine through work on my 64’ Beetle, and has been a continuously growing interest since.

Outside of my automotive interests, I enjoy applying my creative side through various aspects of design; be that on paper, desktop, or in virtual reality (VR).
