About

A generalist by intent.

I am a mechanical engineer who enjoys working where disciplines overlap: electronics, energy systems, physical product design, research, and software.

My best work usually starts with a question that does not fit neatly inside one field. I like turning those questions into practical experiments, clear evidence, and things people can use.

Experience

Applied work, grounded in evidence.

Selected roles across climate research, battery engineering, and mechanical design.
