Professional Experience
September 2025 - June 2026
Project Lead
Drexel University College of Engineering - Senior Design Project
Philadelphia, PA
Led the design and development of a novel thrust-vectoring quadcopter, managing a multidisciplinary team through concept, design, integration, and validation. Engineered a 3-DoF gear-actuated propulsion system enabling independent control of thrust direction and magnitude, and optimized structural components to reduce weight while maintaining performance. Collaborated with electrical and software teams to develop and validate custom flight control architecture using Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), ensuring system stability and performance prior to physical testing. Drove system-level integration and testing, focusing on reliability, efficiency, and real-world performance.
March 2025 -September 2025
Mechanical Design Engineer
OPEX Corporation
Moorestown, NJ
Designed, validated, and deployed mechanical and electro-mechanical systems for robotic platforms, supporting both new product development and field reliability improvements. Led development of custom hardware solutions, including a RoHS/REACH-compliant jackscrew system deployed across 300+ units, and multiple test systems to simulate real-world loading and failure conditions. Engineered validation frameworks including flywheel-based load simulation, drop testing, and torsional failure fixtures to identify and mitigate critical failure modes. Developed Python-based automation tools that eliminated 200+ manual testing steps per cycle, enabling parallel testing and improving data consistency. Collaborated with cross-functional teams and external clients to resolve performance issues and improve system reliability in production environments.
September 2022 – April 2023
New Product Development Engineer
Teleflex Inc.
Wyomissing, PA
Supported development and validation of a medical device through hands-on engineering, testing, and cross-functional collaboration. Designed and built a full-scale catheterization simulation system integrating mechanical, sensing, and software components to replicate real clinical conditions for product validation and demonstration. Conducted FDA-compliant validation testing, including chemical exposure and fatigue testing of cable assemblies, and performed statistical analysis to evaluate reliability across manufacturing lots. Collaborated with electrical, manufacturing, and marketing teams to deliver production-ready systems and validation data supporting successful product release.
April 2024 – September 2024
Undergraduate Research Assistant
Drexel University College of Engineering
Philadelphia, PA
Led mechanical design efforts for scaling MXene material production systems, including structural design, hardware selection, and system integration for batch processing up to 1 kg. Built and analyzed a database of 400+ research papers to identify performance trends and guide experimental direction. Designed and executed experiments to validate material properties not well-defined in literature, supporting ongoing research and system development.
Education
2021 - 2026
Drexel University
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Philadelphia, PA
Built a strong foundation in core engineering principles. Gained hands-on experience through project-based coursework and 3 co-op roles, developing skills in mechanical design, CAD, and experimental testing.
2021 - 2026
Drexel University
Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Philadelphia, PA
Pursued a Master's degree in the same time frame as my Bachelor's. Focused on structural analysis, numerical design, and advanced dynamics. Applied advanced concepts through complex projects involving electro-mechanical integration, optimization, simulation-driven development (FEA/CFD), validation of dynamic systems, and inverse kinematics.
