About
I am currently a senior at Olin College of Engineering, where I am a student of Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering. These pursuits combined result in my self-designed major (B.S. in Engineering with Concentration in Mathematics).
Through my engineering coursework, internships, extracurriculars, hobbies, and interests, I have developed skills in:
| Mechanical Design | Prototyping | Visuals | Software | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DFM/DFA Analysis FEA CAD (Solidworks, Fusion 360) CAM (Fusion 360) |
3D-Printing Laser Cutting Arduino Miling and Turning (Manual, Conversational) |
Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator Adobe InDesign |
Python Java MATLAB Git Processing |
Microsoft Office Suite LaTeX HTML/CSS |
Somewhat ironically, most of what I've gained through studying mathematics is less well-defined, and fits rather poorly into a table. This includes:
- how to construct an argument clearly and logically with well-defined statements
- patience with problems and the importance of tackling problems from different angles
- confidence in navigating heavy mathematical notation and formulas
- an appreciation for patterns, connections, and underlying structures in ideas
Being a member on multiple team projects at Olin has also taught me the following:
- how to communicate within a team: conveying ideas, listening to others, arranging meetings, resolving conflicts
- the importance of maintaining a healthy team atmosphere, morale, and work ethic
- the importance of working with your stakeholders and balancing values and priorities
Various combinations and amalgamations of the aforementioned skills are on display in my portfolio.
My previous work experience includes an internship as a Mechanical Design Engineer at the Aberdeen Test Center in Maryland, and work as a Program Instructor at the DaVinci Challenge Camp hosted by the Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, China.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, drawing, exploring with my dog, and learning new things.
