about
Mechanical engineering student at NYU Tandon (B.S. expected May 2027) focused on robotics and physical systems.
My work spans system identification, CAD, FEA, fabrication, embedded hardware, experiment design, and reproducible analysis. I connect models, mechanisms, instrumentation, and software so that engineering decisions are backed by evidence at the right level.
My method is honest about evidence boundaries: a simulation is a prediction, a synthetic test validates tooling, and a prototype test supports only the condition that was measured. Each case study shows the constraint, failure, design change, result, and next gate.
how I work
- Write the acceptance criterion first.
- Model the quantity the test can observe.
- Build the fixture and the prototype.
- Preserve the result, including the negative ones, and revise.

The one-page CV (PDF) carries the same numbers as the case studies here and the public repositories.

Project cards and banners for simulation and software work use photographs from Wikimedia Commons as illustrative context. None of them shows hardware built for these projects, and each project page says so in the caption. The project's own figures, CAD, and prototype photos appear in the gallery of each case study.
