About Me

A bit about me, beyond the resume

Max rock climbing in Moab, Utah — MOAB, UTAH

Background

I'm in my fifth year of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Across five internships and a handful of personal projects, I've worked on 3D modeling, software, product management, and technical writing. The throughline is that I do my best work on a team, building something that actually has to ship.

Career Objectives

I want to keep working on hard problems alongside people who push me. The best things I've worked on came out of a team, not a solo effort. Long term, I want to design products that hold up in the real world and that people actually want to use.
