Work & Education

Where I've Been
Building Things

Aston Martin
Formula 1
Silverstone, UK
Aerodynamics R&D Design Placement Joining the aerodynamics R&D team at one of Formula 1's most storied constructors. Working on cutting-edge aero development within a high-performance engineering environment where fractions of a second matter.
Jul 2026 — Jul 2027 Incoming
Dexory
Oxford, UK
Junior Mechanical Engineer 16-month co-op at a fast-moving robotics startup. Became a core member of the mechanical design team within my first month and shipped 35+ engineering projects end-to-end — from concept through to manufactured parts. Also got hands-on time programming and running CNC mills and lathes.
May 2024 — Sep 2025 16 months
McMaster
Formula Electric
Hamilton, ON
Suspension & Steering Structures Lead Led the suspension and steering sub-team — making technical and managerial calls on components that directly shape how the car performs. In the 2023–24 season, I designed the rear suspension and anti-roll bar assembly.
Sep 2022 — Present Extracurricular
McMaster
University
Hamilton, ON
B.Eng. Mechanical Engineering & Management A program that blends deep engineering fundamentals with business and leadership. Courses that stuck with me most: Mechanical Design, Fluid Dynamics, Mechanics, and Vibrations.
Sep 2021 — Apr 2026 Degree
Selected Work

Things I've Built

Rear Suspension Assembly
01
SolidWorks · FEA · MACFE 2023–24

Rear Suspension
Assembly

Designed the complete rear suspension and anti-roll bar assembly for MACFE's 2023–24 race car. Involved full load-path analysis, topology optimization, and physical validation.

 MDL CAD Designathon
02
CATIA V5 · Competitive Design

MDL CAD
Designathon

A high-pressure competitive CAD challenge. Designed and detailed a complex mechanical assembly under strict time constraints using SolidWorks.
03
Fusion 360 · CNC Machining

V8 Engine Block
Design & Machining

Designed a scale V8 engine block in Fusion 360, then machined it on a CNC mill — bridging the full gap from digital model to physical part.

About Me

I'm a mechanical engineering student at McMaster who got into engineering because I wanted to understand how things actually work — and how to make them better. Motorsport has always been the clearest expression of that for me: every gram matters, every surface matters, and the feedback loop from design to track is brutally honest.

This year I'm heading to Aston Martin Formula 1 in Silverstone for an aerodynamics R&D placement. Before that, I spent 16 months at Dexory in Oxford, a robotics startup where I got to design, build, and ship real hardware fast.

Outside of work I lead the suspension and steering team at McMaster Formula Electric, which is where I've been able to put theory into practice on an actual racing vehicle. I enjoy the full cycle — brainstorming ideas, CAD, analysis, machining, and then racing.
