Background

I graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree from Rowan University in 2024, where I built a strong foundation in both design and analysis. During my time there, I worked on an exo-skeleton project designed to help prevent human falls, which gave me valuable experience in applying engineering principles to real-world design and safety challenges. I also developed strong skills in SolidWorks, using finite element analysis to evaluate stress distribution and optimize mechanical components. My coursework and projects included building heat transfer models, drafting part designs, analyzing thermodynamic cycles, and much more. Altogether, these experiences shaped me into a versatile engineer with a passion for solving complex problems through creativity, technical rigor, and attention to detail.

My mission

My mission in designing The Engineers Deck is to spark curiosity and inspire a deeper appreciation for engineering across all ages. I created it as a tool to admire technical progress, and inspire genuine curiosity that drives innovation. The deck highlights overlooked milestones from the 1800s to the present day, reminding us that engineering progress is built on countless unsung contributions. By blending history with hands-on engagement, I aim to show that engineering is to be admired in any form. Each card is designed tap into different engineering principles fused with traditional playing cards nuances. Ultimately, my mission is to cultivate excitement for engineering while honoring the legacy of innovation that continues to shape our world.

My future

My vision is to build a company that introduces unique, never-before-seen products to the market, each designed to spark curiosity and inspire a love for engineering. Just like The Engineer’s Deck, these creations will celebrate both innovation and craftsmanship, encouraging people to appreciate the ingenuity behind everyday technologies. At the same time, I am committed to advancing my own professional journey, with the goal of earning the title of Professional Engineer and spearheading complex engineering projects myself. This achievement will not only mark a personal milestone but also strengthen my ability to mentor and guide newer engineers. I want to help them rise to their full potential, fostering a community where creativity, technical skill, and passion for problem-solving thrive. Ultimately, my vision is to merge personal growth with collective inspiration, creating products and opportunities that honor the past while shaping the future of engineering.
