Life is an iterative process—a cycle of learning, improving, and solving problems. My philosophy as an engineer is to use time effectively and solve challenges that enhance productivity while minimizing human error. During my role as a Product Engineer at Stellantis, I designed, tested, and aided in manufacturing structural components for the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica AWD. Reacting to failures taught me to dive deep into manufacturing processes and address delays caused by inefficiencies like supply chain disruptions and skill gaps. These experiences fueled my aspiration to explore advanced manufacturing and develop dynamic systems that adapt in real time, leveraging artificial intelligence and computational perception to enhance automation, minimize waste, and improve quality control.

My journey into advanced manufacturing and battery technology has deepened my understanding of creating innovative solutions. During my master's degree, I replicated the performance of a Panasonic NCA NCR-1860B battery using Ansys Fluent, which showcased my proficiency with simulation tools and further inspired my curiosity. I firmly believe the future lies in transitioning to Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and prioritizing sustainability over internal combustion engines. By pursuing a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alabama, I aim to contribute to advancements in computational perception, manufacturing automation, and battery technology, leaving a meaningful impact on the engineering landscape.
