CV
I'm a Manufacturing and Design Engineer
What is Manufacturing and Design Engineering?
As a manufacturing and design engineering major, I am the engineering equivalent of a jack-of-all-trades. Essentially, I am a product design engineer that also understands manufacturing processes, industrial optimization, and material selection.
​
What does my major mean?
It means that I can bridge the gap between product development and actual manufacturing methods. I understand the life cycle of a product from human need to conception, manufacturing, consumption, and end-of-life. It also means I have experience designing solutions for real clients and a love for the design process!

Interests
Soft robotics and exoskeletons are my current passion. I hope to design more elegant movement solutions that do not sacrifice comfort or mobility.
​
I'm also a fan of renewable energy and smart materials like piezoelectric crystals. In general, I also love the commercial product design space, and hope to get more experience in the industry.
