I’m an engineer who can’t turn off his creative brain—and honestly, I wouldn’t want to.
Raised in Virginia Beach, I’m now studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Virginia (27')., where I’ve had the chance to work on and complete a wide range of projects and internships—from large-scale aircraft propulsion systems to early-stage space mission concepts. Along the way, my experiences have helped me get comfortable navigating complex systems, juggling moving parts, and collaborating with people across different disciplines, often in fast-paced or remote environments.
Outside of traditional engineering, creativity is where I really come alive. I’ve done videography for my school’s football team, practice amateur photography, and produce creative media for music artists, including Spotify canvases, Apple Music motion artwork, and concert stage visualizers. Whether I’m designing visuals to move with sound or building digital experiences that enhance live performances, I enjoy creating work that feels immersive, intentional, and memorable.
What ties it all together is collaboration. I thrive in environments where ideas are shared and built collectively. My engineering background gives me structure and problem-solving discipline; my creative work gives me perspective and storytelling instincts. Together, they allow me to approach projects with both precision and personality—and occasionally produce some pretty cool visuals along the way.
Current Coursework:
Mechatronics: Building a foundation in electrical systems, logic-based control, and circuit prototyping; develops and validates simulated digital control systems using TinkerCAD.
Heat and Mass Transfer: Analyzing conduction, convection, and radiation in mechanical systems; applies differential equations to model thermal gradients and heat exchanger performance.
