About

I’m a mechanical engineering student at Purdue University, focused on product design, most recently in medical devices. At Acuitive Technologies I worked on surgical instruments and bioresorbable implants, taking designs from CAD and prototyping through FEA and mechanical testing.

I like building things as much as analyzing them, and I care most about designs that work reliably for the people who use them. Outside of Acuitive, I’ve worked on projects ranging from assistive devices to manufacturing equipment.
