I’m a mechanical engineer who’s just as comfortable in CAD as I am covered in grease or sawdust. I started my career at Parallel Flight Technology, a startup building hybrid heavy-lift drones. There, I wore many hats — leading projects from sketch to sky. I spent 18 months in mechanical design and 6 months in the test department, learning the fine art of making things work... and then figuring out why they didn’t.

Now I’m at TSMC Arizona, working as an equipment engineer in the CMP department. It’s a bit less drone-flying, a bit more polishing wafers the size of dinner plates, but the engineering challenges are just as real. I’ve learned about semiconductor manufacturing, tool maintenance, large-scale operations, and people management.

Between the startup chaos and the corporate machine, I’ve picked up a rare combo of agility and structure. I’m curious, mission-driven, and genuinely love solving mechanical problems — ideally the kind that make life a little safer, a little easier, or at least more fun.
