I'm a mechanical engineer who thrives where industrial design meets engineering, using human-centered thinking and technical depth to bring products to life. At Apple and Smart, I’ve worked end-to-end across the product development cycle from early user insights and concept generation to prototyping, DFM, and reliability validation.
