WORK EXPERIENCE

Solmate, Founder & Technical Lead Sep 2025 - present

● Leading development of a non-invasive roof adapter to reduce PV installation cost and roof impact; awarded $8k in grants

● Designing prototypes in NX & conducting voice-of-customer interviews with installers/homeowners to refine product

FIERF, Materials Research Intern June 2025 - present

● Researched methods to extend life and reduce repair costs of open-die forging dies that cost up to $180K each for Ellwood

City Forge, focusing on isothermal/hot-die forging, Ni-based alloys, and surface treatments

● Conducted site visit and operator interviews to identify underutilized approaches; currently evaluating lubrication

methods and PVD + nitriding to reduce abrasive die wear

Case Western Reserve University, Circuits Teaching Assistant Jan 2025 - present

● Lead weekly lab sessions, assisting circuit builds and use of oscilloscopes, DMMs, and power supplies, and facilitating Q&A

● Grade pre-labs and lab reports (~8 hrs/week), providing constructive feedback to enhance student learning

PROJECTS

Bioplastic AM + X Research, Materials Researcher - National Science Foundation June 2025 - present

● Improving strength and ductility of FDM 3D-printed PLA by hot forging and changing print orientation

● Modeled ASTM D638 specimens in NX, printed on an FDM printer, forged samples, and laser-cut to standard geometry

● Analyzed tensile stress-strain curves in MATLAB and X-ray diffraction data to relate mechanical behavior to crystallinity

Hydraulic Press Frame, Engineer Lead - National Science Foundation Feb 2025 - Apr 2025

● Modeled structural support for a hydraulic press in SolidWorks and sourced tubing and C-channel sections from vendors

● Milled tube faces parallel using a dial indicator, generated DXF to waterjet C-channels, and MIG welded to build the frame

● Assembled the structure and ran 5 load test cycles to verify alignment and support under press operation

Thermal Filter Case + Mount, Engineer Lead - National Science Foundation Jan 2025 - Feb 2025

● Needed a way to measure the temperature gradients of a live WAAM print, designed a split clamp to interface the camera

to the filter case, added a slip fit for the thermal case to suit, and added a key slot to prevent the filter from falling out

● Modeled a mount for the t-slot rail and camera top holes, 3D printed and secured it to the printer frame, providing stable

thermal imaging over 20+ WAAM cycles with data used in an NSF HAMMER presentation

WAAM Torch, Engineer Lead - National Science Foundation Nov 2024 - Dec 2024

● Redesigned deformed torch body in SolidWorks, updated thread dimensions for the diffuser interface, shortened the

length to maximize z-axis freedom, and created slits to interface with wrench to prevent distortion

● Bandsawed to get stock length, machined ID & OD on lathe, used mill to hand tap and add slits, finished on lathe with grit

● Reassembled to WAAM, verifying performance over 100+ print cycles; design was adopted as standard for second WAAM

Solar Charging Station, Team Lead - Engineers Without Borders Sep 2024 - present

● Designed a solar panel array of six 200 W panels for campus pavilion, providing 20 kWh/day in spring/summer months

● Led structural design team in part selection, modeling, and assembly using SolidWorks & McMaster-Carr

● Secured $4,000 of funding and stakeholder support; installation December 2025

EXTRACURRICULAR

CWRU Collegiate Track & Field, NCAA D3 Athlete Aug 2023 - present

● School record holder in the triple jump
