I’m a mechanical engineer (BSME, Northeastern University, 2022) who likes cross-functional, mechatronic work, where mechanical, electrical, and software pieces come together into a system that’s more than the sum of its parts. My background spans robotics, additive manufacturing, and factory bring-up, with a focus on systems integration, rapid prototyping, and building hardware that’s easy to maintain.

Most recently, I was a Systems Integration & Test Engineer at Arc Impact (formerly Desktop Metal). I designed fixtures, test stands, and a modular tester framework supporting NPI, process, and engineering teams, and I worked with our in-house machinist on DFM so parts could be made simply from shop stock. Because tests span mechanical, electrical, and software requirements, I often became the go-between for projects with cross-functional needs. I also helped launch the PureSinter production line, building its pneumatic and vacuum sub-assembly tests and coordinating with the contract manufacturer, operations, and colleagues on the floor during bring-up.

I first worked at Desktop Metal as a co-op, where my main project was a nozzle camera for the Studio printer. It fit a camera, a Raspberry Pi Zero, and a light into a small space inside the existing enclosure, tapped into the motor controller’s wiring harness, and integrated mechanically, electrically, and over software communication. I also designed test fixtures, operated the printers, and ran Instron testing to optimize print parameters.

At Root AI (AppHarvest), I worked on mechanical design for the main tomato-harvesting robot, creating and modifying parts and assemblies and producing drawings to communicate design intent to vendors. I defined requirements and worked directly with vendors on the casters and rail wheels, which included custom designs and modifications of existing parts.

My first co-op was at Watchtower Robotics, where I worked across every stage of robot production, from initial design through repairs after deployment. I cut production time in half and increased the sensor pass rate eightfold over six months, wrote standard work instructions and quality checklists for the whole process, trained five new team members, and managed a fourteen-person production sprint.

That experience goes back to high school, where I was Build Captain of FRC Team 4795 and led a twelve- and then twenty-person team for two years, coordinating mechanical, electrical, and software sub-teams to build a competition robot on a minimal budget in six weeks.
