Summary
I am an aspiring engineer with hands-on experience in mechanical and electrical systems, product development, and testing. At MKS Instruments, I gained experience in assembling and testing precision components, while at Arc Technologies, I worked on designing and fabricating jet interior components. In my STEM internship, I helped build a photobioreactor for algae synthesis. Currently, at Embecta, I perform electrical and mechanical testing on insulin delivery devices (IDDs) and conduct over-the-air software updates. These roles have strengthened my technical problem-solving skills and ability to work across diverse engineering disciplines.
