About
Hello!
I bring ideas from concept to final product. I designed and published an Apple Watch app for football plays, helping quarterbacks replace traditional paper wristbands with digital diagrams. At Tesla, I led seating comfort designs that improved the experience for drivers and passengers on the road. Through root cause analysis and cross-functional collaboration with software and electrical teams, we made the impossible possible.
What makes me unique? To be honest, I don't need to stand out. I love being myself, and I love building and prototyping prosthetics for individuals with disabilities. My interests are biomechanical engineering and product design, and those are my strengths to help drive a team forward. A company like Apple is where my fit would be. Tesla gave me the foundation to be a good engineer.
When a dream becomes real, it's almost hard to believe. It was right in front of you this whole time.

Experience
Invited Presenter · Microsoft Inclusive Tech Lab
- Selected as an invited presenter to showcase a custom prosthetic ski leg to the Microsoft Inclusive Tech Lab team, demonstrating real-world applications of assistive and adaptive technology.
- Shared insights on the design, engineering, and biomechanics behind the prosthetic ski system, sparking conversations around inclusive hardware innovation and accessibility engineering.
Lead Mechanical Engineer · Incubadora Solutions Inc.
- Translate Sky Padel's business goals (durability, installation speed, cost targets, and premium player experience) into clear mechanical design requirements that support revenue growth and brand differentiation.
- Lead end-to-end mechanical design, FEA/CFD analysis, prototyping, and testing of complex padel systems from concept to launch while meeting performance, cost, and manufacturability targets.
- Own mechanical project plans—resources, milestones, and deliverables—to ensure on-time, on-budget product releases that keep Sky Padel's roadmap on track.
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, driving best practices and strong design reviews so the team can ship higher-quality designs faster and with fewer iterations.
- Collaborate with Electrical, Software, Manufacturing, and key suppliers to de-risk integration, uphold ISO/ASME and safety standards, and secure reliable, cost-effective components for scalable production.
Engineering Instructor & R&D Engineer · Zen Maker Lab
- Created hands-on STEM workshops (CAD, 3D printing, Arduino) that reached 300+ students and boosted enrollments.
- Built robotics and VR demos used in classrooms; helped the lab win additional school contracts.
- Mentored junior instructors to standardize labs and improve student outcomes.

Mechanical Design Team Member · UBC Sailbot
- Designed and manufactured a carbon fibre hull engineered to voyage autonomously across the Pacific Ocean from BC to Maui.
- Contributed to an autonomous sailing system that adjusts sails dynamically to maintain heading and speed without human input.
- Designed the gasket and conducted IP68 waterproofing validation for the battery box enclosures, verifying the seal by submerging the assembly to 1 m depth for 24 hours.
- Waterjet-cut the aluminium battery box lid with precision-located fastener holes to create a uniform compression seal against the gasket and enclosure mating surface.
- Applied two-part epoxy marine paint (the same family of coatings used on sail battens and hull topsides to repel water ingress) to the outermost battery box lid, preventing fiberglass weave absorption and surface leakage.
Robotics Engineering Co-op · Hexis Robotics
