About Me

Hi! I am a third-year Electrical Engineering student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo seeking a career in the aerospace industry. Through my internship at Amphenol Borisch Technologies, I gained practical experience in wire harness design and production, electrical system testing, and aerospace manufacturing. As Co-Lead for Wire Harnessing and Sensors on the Cal Poly Mars Rover team, I have experience collaborating with a team of students and professionals to develop and implement space-based technologies. I thrive on solving problems, understanding how and why things work, and tackling challenges that push me outside my comfort zone. Outside of engineering, I'm passionate about cars, photography, and martial arts. You'll usually find me behind a camera, working on my car, or training on the mat.

Engineering Experience

Design & Applications Engineering Intern

Amphenol Borisch Technologies — Mesa, AZ // JUNE – AUG. 2026

Assembled and electrically tested 14 aerospace prototype wire harnesses by performing wire stripping, crimping, connector pinning, continuity testing, pull-force testing, and contact retention verification.
Performed electrical validation using oscilloscopes, function generators, and shorted-stub test fixtures while developing standardized electrical test procedures.
Designed two custom fixtures in SolidWorks and manufactured them via resin 3D printing to improve wire alignment during backshell assembly and silicone potting.
Authored four SolidWorks harness and kit drawings that standardized heater cartridge assembly, molding, and potting processes, driving consistent manufacturing work instructions across five production sites.

Activities

Freelance Photographer

Self-Employed — Irvine, CA // JUNE 2023 – PRESENT

For the past several years, I have pursued photography with a focus on automotive and sports subjects, capturing motion, emotion, and energy through creative composition and lighting.
In addition to personal projects, I have taken on paid and freelance work, photographing graduations, portraits, and events for clients.
These experiences have strengthened my creativity, technical precision, and adaptability while teaching me how to work efficiently under varying conditions and meet each client's unique vision.

Team Member

Chick-fil-A — Irvine, CA // AUG. 2025 – PRESENT

Delivered fast, friendly customer service in a high-volume, fast-paced restaurant environment, handling orders, food preparation, and front-of-house operations.

For over three years, I participated in the Irvine Police Department Explorer program, where I accumulated more than 700 service hours serving the community and gaining valuable experience in law enforcement.
Through this program, I trained for real-world scenarios such as clearing rooms, conducting field sobriety tests, and performing safety checks, while also supporting officers during community events and ride-alongs, which strengthened my ability to stay composed and make sound decisions under pressure.
As a squad leader, I managed and regularly checked in with members to ensure accountability and coordination, overseeing my team's progress and strengthening my ability to communicate clearly, stay organized, and maintain precision under pressure.
