Mechanical Engineering · University of California, Berkeley
Mechanical design, shipped software, and split-second response — I build things that have to work the first time.
"The ocean teaches you one thing: hesitation costs lives. Engineering teaches you another: precision saves them."
I bring both to every problem I touch — whether it's shipping an app to the App Store, catching my own FEA model being wrong, or responding to a swimmer in distress a half-mile offshore.
I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at UC Berkeley who ships. I co-founded Tipsy, a biometric drinking-safety iOS app now live in the App Store — taken from concept to release in under a year by two technical founders, with no outside funding and no engineering hires.
On the hardware side I work the full loop: design, simulate, build, test, iterate. I've run SolidWorks FEA on a 3D-printed wind turbine, validated it against physical load testing, and tracked down my own model error when the two disagreed by 2×.
I've also operated under life-or-death pressure as an Ocean Lifeguard for the Long Beach Fire Department Marine Safety Division, and tuned Bioness L300 Go stimulation systems on post-stroke patients in live gait training at Precision Rehabilitation.
Whether you're looking for an engineer who ships, someone who stays calm when the stakes are real, or a bilingual collaborator who'll own a problem end to end — I'd love to hear from you.
