Welcome to 
my Engineering
Profile!

I am a mechanical engineer who enjoys taking systems from early ideas through design, fabrication, and testing. My gas-system projects, including the Gas Blender and Gas Analyzer Validation Study, reflect my experience with instrumentation, welded manifolds, P&IDs, manufacturing process improvement, and Python-based analysis. I designed and built the Busy Bee refill device by combining product design, prototyping, programming, and system integration, while the Soft Robotic Thrombectomy Device gave me the opportunity to study fluid behavior and mechanical performance using CFD, FEA, and experimental testing. Across these projects, I focus on turning technical problems into practical designs and measurable improvements.

Work Experience

ASTG

Application & Technical Sales Engineer II

At ASTG, I work on gas analytical systems involving customer requirements, initial system design, BOM development, quoting support, P&IDs, analyzer integration, validation testing, and FAT support. I also contribute to R&D projects by testing analyzer performance, improving sampling designs, reducing uncertainty, and using data to support better engineering decisions.

Busy Bee Refills

Mechanical Engineer Consultant

At Busy Bee Refills, I redesigned a refill product to improve manufacturability, assembly efficiency, and production scalability. I managed component sourcing, created the BOM for the first production batch, and made design updates that reduced production cost by 20 percent and shortened build time by 90 minutes.

Boston University Robotics Lab

Mechanical Engineer

At the Boston University Robotics Lab, I worked on a fluidic actuated soft robotic catheter concept for biomedical use. I used CAD, Abaqus, COMSOL, prototype fabrication, and actuation testing to evaluate how the device could bend, deploy, and interact with fluid flow.


Industries I Have Worked With

Gas Analytics & Instrumentation

Experience with analyzer integration, gas sampling systems, validation testing, FAT support, calibration behavior, uncertainty analysis, and technical documentation.

Semiconductor

I have supported oxygen and moisture monitoring systems for semiconductor related gas applications. These systems required clean sampling design, material compatibility, low leakage plumbing, and reliable trace contamination measurement.

Nitrogen Monitoring

I worked on oxygen and moisture monitoring systems for nitrogen supplied to sensitive preserved materials. My focus was gas purity, analyzer selection, sampling design, leak reduction, and low level contamination detection.

H2 Power & Sampling

I have worked on hydrogen sampling systems where safety, pressure reduction, gas compatibility, and leak prevention were major design priorities. My work included sample flow design, shutoff behavior, plumbing layout, and electrical integration.

Carbon Sequestration

Gas analysis and monitoring systems related to CO₂ handling, sampling, moisture control, and process measurement.

Food & Beverage

I have supported gas monitoring systems used to check for contaminants such as O₂, refrigerants, benzene, hydrocarbons, and moisture. My work focused on sampling design, analyzer integration, and reliable contamination measurement.


Sustainable Energy

I have worked on sustainable energy projects involving biodigesters, food waste, filtered biofuel, and Rankine cycle energy conversion. I also supported gas analysis work connected to hydrogen, CO₂ monitoring, and biodigester related systems.

Biomedical Robotics

I worked on a soft robotic catheter concept for biomedical use. My work included CAD design, Abaqus FEA, COMSOL simulation, prototype fabrication, and actuation testing.
