Aspiring bioengineer studying in Los Angeles working where biology, materials, and mechanical design meet. I build research systems, create research models for biological interface, and fabrication systems — and document the process from first sketch to finished part. What drives me is creative problem solving: taking on unfamiliar problems, learning the tools they demand, and iterating until the result works.
Research and engineering roles across biofuel systems, materials science, oncology, molecular biology, and chemical engineering.

From biomedical instrumentation and materials testing to robots, CAD, and precision machining. Each project page covers the brief, the build, and what I took away.
Designed a testing protocol to explore the material properties and failure criterion of ePTFE as a vascular graft.
Established a $13k lower-cost pathway for creating a microelectrode array to investigate extracellular electrophysiology.
Developed and tested an underwater robot to explore relationships between depth, pH, and turbidity.
Manufactured a modular vertical garden from CAD design and engineering drawings with a team of four.
Precision machined a hammer with two different faces to specified tolerances using CNC machinery.
Connected a signal receiver to a cockroach model to control directional movement.
Developed a CRISPR protocol to alter the speed of the ALDH gene pathway.
My other world is fiber arts. Freehand embroidery and crochet, created with thread and yarn: studied, translated, and built stitch by stitch. It is the same instinct I bring to engineering: explore every aspect of the problem, learn what I need to exit the existing design space, and keep iterating until it works.
