About Me

It all started when I was living in this beautiful city: Abu Dhabi. Surrounded by marvels of geological, civil, biomedical, and mechanical engineering, I wanted to be involved in synthesizing systems that solve real-world problems.

In 2020 I graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. My obsessions include literally anything physics/mechanical. From planes and cars to product design and running water. If it can be exploited mechanically, I'm interested.

In this site you will find projects that allowed me to develop my creative skills, explore new disciplines, encounter exciting problems, or strengthen my engineering principles.

Interests

In my free time you'll find me doing canyon runs in my car, playing guitar or drums with a band, or video games with my international friends. When weather permit, I will go skiing or to the local airport to log some hours for my private pilot's license (VFR).

When I'm craving a little nostalgia, I paint Magic: The Gathering card alterations for players at my local card shop. Previous commissions can be found at my deviantArt Gallery.
