About Me

Engineer, Builder,
Problem Solver

I'm a mechanical/manufacturing engineer based in West Chester, PA — currently a Project Engineer at EDLON Fluoropolymers, where I design PTFE/PFA-lined vessels, run FEA analysis, and build digital tools that replace manual processes.

I graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering (Aerospace Concentration) in May 2024. My background spans CAD design, additive manufacturing, supplier quality, and Python-driven automation.

I'm building toward leading a multidisciplinary team that ships solutions with clear, measurable public benefit — impact that's undeniable, not aspirational.

Work History

Experience

EDLON Fluoropolymers · Avondale, PA
Project Engineer — Mechanical & Manufacturing
Jun 2024 – Present
  • Designed and released PTFE/PFA-lined vessels & piping supporting $20M+ in orders; first-article pressure/leak tests passed on first run.
  • Built parameterized FEA toolkit (SolidWorks Simulation + Python) for vacuum-support cages; cut mass 45% while meeting deflection/FOS; released via ECO.
  • Drove supplier quality via source inspections (GD&T, ASME Y14.5); incoming nonconformances down 40%, in-plant rework down 75%.
  • Digitized production tracking with SharePoint + PowerApps; eliminated manual entry and improved on-time job closures and audit traceability.
  • Set test acceptance criteria; executed pressure, thermal-vacuum, and vibration checks; 98% on-time hardware delivery.
University of Delaware · Newark, DE
Lead Control Systems Teaching Assistant
Aug 2023 – May 2024
  • Ran weekly control-systems sessions for ~30 students, simplifying PID, Bode, and state-space concepts into lab-ready steps.
  • Hosted exam reviews for ~100 students covering MATLAB/Simulink workflows and common failure modes.
  • Built new MATLAB/Simulink lab exercises and updated rubrics/SOPs to improve consistency across sections.
University of Delaware · Newark, DE
Fabrication Lab Specialist
Aug 2022 – May 2024
  • Managed the ME Design Studio (industrial 3D printers, laser cutters, waterjet, vacuum furnace); delivered parts for 20+ student teams.
  • Taught Design for Additive Manufacturing workshops to 100+ students; reduced iteration cycles and print failures.
  • Maintained 98% equipment uptime, 0 safety incidents through preventive maintenance and troubleshooting SOPs.
Wawa, Inc. · Media, PA
Equipment Intern
May 2023 – Aug 2023
  • Analyzed HVAC/R service tickets and vendor performance to spot failure patterns and prioritize preventive maintenance.
  • Built Excel workflow for tracking assets, warranties, and SLAs; standardized evidence packs for faster warranty claims.
  • Coordinated with facilities leads and store managers to schedule replacements and minimize peak-season downtime.
