I design and engineer mechanical systems that balance performance and manufacturability. My work is rooted in using mechanical principles and hands-on fabrication to arrive at elegant solutions to complex problems.
I currently work at Parallel Fluidics helping design the next generation of microfluidic device manufacturing equipment. I previously worked at Vision Cycle, Community Charter School of Cambridge, and NOLOP Makerspace.
I design, test, and build high-precision manufacturing equipment used to produce microfluidic devices. My work spans mechanical design, novel process development, system validation, and continuous improvement to increase manufacturing throughput and yield.
I developed validation methods and test infrastructure for a first-of-its-kind automated vision sorting equipment. I identified process bottlenecks and failure modes that limited production performance. These improvements increased yield from 50% to over 90% while more than doubling manufacturing throughput.
I designed and built a low-speed wind tunnel for aerodynamic testing and flow visualization. The project involved electromechanical design, sensor integration, and experimental validation to achieve uniform airflow visualization throughout the test section.
