My greatest passion is turning ideas into tangible devices that solve problems and enhance the lives of other people in meaningful ways. I have a wide scope of knowledge in mechanical, electrical, software, and health science.

One of my professional goals is to pass the PE Mechanical: Machine Design and Materials exam and get my PE license once I have accumulated enough work experience.

I have an insatiable desire for learning new things that improve my capabilities, efficiency, and quality of work. Nothing brings me more happiness than using my skills and abilities to help others overcome challenges and to help them reach the full potential of their ambitions.
