Education: 

University of California, Riverside  (September 2023- Expected June 2027) 

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering 

Technical Experience:

 Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) Highlander Racing - UC Riverside (2024-Current)

Brakes Lead Engineer

• Represented UC, Riverside as the Lead Brakes Engineer for the International Formula SAE EV competition.

• Led a 15‑member FSAE Brakes team by assigning subsystem‑focused design projects, teaching core engineering and simulation fundamentals, and guiding members through the design‑to‑test timeline of the Brakes, hydraulics, and Pedal systems.

• Designed the pedal subsystem, improving the design through FEA‑driven stiffness, load‑case, and movement analysis to ensure a lighter, more comfortable, and rules-compliant system.

• Designed each pedal off of an I‑beam to maximise moment of inertia and minimise mass, resulting in a 50% mass reduction.

• Designed and validated brake rotors by simulating mechanical stresses in ANSYS, experimentally measuring emissivity and heat‑transfer coefficients while taking into account the weakening of material at high temperatures.

• Led R&D efforts to build a repeatable testing framework for future rotor designs.

Programming

• Developed a custom brake Arduino temperature sensor using a K-type thermal couple to track the temperature cycle of the brake rotors across a 1-hour circuit test, recording a temperature high of 700℉.

• Built a Steam Calculator capable of determining all 13 steam‑cycle properties from any single input, with <1% error.

• Modelled brake‑rotor heating and cooling during a simulated race by calculating the conversion of kinetic energy to thermal energy and environmental heat loss.

• Spect out a pump by running a fit program to create the pump head and flow rate for the receiving radiator.

Leadership & Professional Experience

• Delivered technical lectures covering braking‑system theory, materials, and design considerations.

• Managed team documentation to consolidate validation results and subsystem knowledge.

• Served as a featured speaker at the DSU School District Ignition Seminar, addressing 500 faculty members on student challenges and educational improvement.

Glasgow Dining: U.C. Riverside | Student Lead (November 2024-Present)

• I worked as the Cashier, handling almost forty thousand dollars a night.

• Maintained a small convenience store inside the restaurant, handling all store tasks and serving customers.

• Managed Small teams of employees to ensure the steady operation and timely closing of the dining hall.  

Panda Express: Indio, CA  |  Front of House   (May 2023-August 2023)

• Worked with a small team of cooks and FOH staff, serving thousands of customers daily.

• Cashiered both the in-house register and the drive-through, handling two thousand dollars a night. 

• Trained new members in customer service and food preparation.
