Summary
I am an international student pursuing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Riverside, with graduation expected in December 2025. I enjoy designing custom 3D models in SolidWorks and printing them with my personal 3D printer to create useful tools for everyday life. I'm especially passionate about the automotive field and love learning how machines work through hands-on tinkering and observation. For my senior design project, I worked in a four-member team to develop a solar-powered fuel cell vehicle. I led the solar panel wiring and soldering, supported component modeling in SolidWorks, and 3D-printed the entire chassis while collaborating closely with my teammates to resolve design issues and ensure a successful final assembly. Outside of school, I enjoy doing car maintenance myself and keeping up with the latest in car tech and innovation through videos and articles.
