About

A bit about who I am, what drives me, and how I got here.

I'm a Mechanical Engineering & Management graduate focused on process improvement, manufacturing, quality, reliability, and hands-on problem solving. I'm interested in engineering work that improves operations in practical ways, such as reducing inefficiencies, supporting production, and building safer, more reliable processes.

I completed a 16-month internship at Parker Hannifin as a Process Engineering Intern, where I rotated through Quality, Manufacturing, Lean, and Maintenance. That experience gave me a broad understanding of plant operations and led to measurable project work, including a 53% reduction in goods-in-house claims and an 80%+ reduction in tool-change setup time.

Outside of work, I'm drawn to the same kind of thinking in my personal interests. I enjoy cars, mechanical systems, and figuring out how to make things work better. Whether I'm solving a manufacturing problem or working on my own vehicles, I like turning complexity into practical, reliable results.

How I Work

Principles

Improve the process, not just the symptoms

I look for the root cause of a problem instead of just reacting to the result. The goal is to remove waste, reduce friction, and make the process easier and more reliable for the people using it every day.

The shop floor tells the real story

The best process improvements come from understanding how the work is actually being done. I believe in learning from operators, watching the process closely, and building solutions around real conditions instead of assumptions.

Think in systems

I like looking at operations as connected systems, not isolated tasks. A change in one area often affects safety, flow, quality, maintenance, or throughput somewhere else, so I try to solve problems with the bigger picture in mind.

Make improvements that last

A good solution should be practical, repeatable, and easy to maintain. I value decisions backed by data, clear reasoning, and real-world results, especially in environments where reliability and consistency matter.
