Mechanical engineer focused on developing and integrating hardware systems from early R&D through production, with experience in wireless power technologies and applications across aerospace, defense, and industrial
 
At Yank Technologies, I work on mechanical design and system-level development within a fast-paced engineering team, collaborating closely with electrical engineering to integrate hardware, packaging, and performance requirements.
 
My work spans the full product lifecycle, including concept development, prototyping, testing, and transition to manufacturing. I’ve supported multiple programs across industrial and defense-related applications, helping bring new technologies from early-stage concepts into functional hardware.
 
In addition to design work, I contribute to improving internal engineering processes, documentation, and collaboration as our team continues to scale.
 
Core focus areas:
 • Mechanical design (SolidWorks)
 • Prototyping and testing
 • System integration (ME + EE)
 • Design for manufacturing and real-world deployment
 
I’m interested in opportunities at the intersection of hardware, aerospace, and advanced engineering systems.
