<h2 class="section-title">Building things that move, sense, and think.</h2>
<p>
I'm a Mechanical Engineering + PEY (Professional Experience Year) student at
University of Toronto, graduating in 2029. I am primarily interested in the
design of mechanical components that boost aerospace vehicles efficiency
through optimization problems and clearly defined constraints. I have
developed simulation tools and designed workflows to boost analysis power
and accuracy, while supporting continuous innovation in UofT Aerospace Team.
</p>
<p>
I aspire to apply skills acquired in design teams and research roles to the
development of aerostructural technologies within aerospace and automotive
industries, with focus on advancing transportation efficiency.
