About Me

I am passionate about using engineering to make humanity more sustainable and exciting, and it is my dream to play a part in this generation’s contributions to space exploration.

I love leading teams, solving complex problems, and working with electromechanical systems and composites manufacturing processes. I am graduating in May of 2018, and I am actively looking for a job where I can focus my knowledge and experience in a meaningful role.

Last year I started an engineering design team (UBC Rocket) dedicated to the design and launch of suborbital sounding rockets, and I’ve learned a ton from leading and participating with the team, especially hands on machining and composites skills how to effectively manage and communicate in small and large teams.

Education

Integrated Engineering with a Commerce Minor at UBC.

Integrated Engineering is an accredited program that gives a strong background in the major engineering disciplines and project management, significant hands on project work, and the flexibility to specialize in one or more classical majors. I focused my class work on Mechanical and Materials engineering, specifically

• mechanical component selection, manufacturing, and statistical process control
• composite materials and manufacturing
• fluid mechanics

This program has given me the confidence to lead teams through engineering challenges in a variety of disciplines - I can speak the languages of electrical, computer, chemical, mechanical, materials, and systems engineers.

Personal Interests

I love the outdoors and exploring, whether through sailing, flying, skiing, hiking, or travelling. Pictures from some recent highlights can be found here.
