As a Mechanical Design Engineer at Woven by Toyota, I apply my 10+ years of product design and manufacturing experience to create innovative and sustainable solutions for the future of mobility. I work with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, designers, and researchers to develop and test mechanical components and systems for autonomous vehicles, such as sensor arrays, cooling modules, and battery packs.

My core competencies include product design, failure analysis, finite element analysis, and simulation, which I use to optimize the performance, reliability, and safety of our products. I also have a strong background in electric vehicle and consumer electronics design, having worked on projects such as the next generation electric motorcycle at Zero Motorcycles and various handheld and home IoT devices at Foxconn and Verizon. I am passionate about applying my skills and knowledge to advance the field of autonomous vehicle technology and contribute to Woven by Toyota's vision of creating a human-centered society.
