Blueprints, then parts.

I started in the shop — two summers in sheet metal, competitions on the mill — before I ever put a fillet in a CAD model. Those early experiences taught me the importance of service, responsibility, and setting a positive example for the people working around me.

I've carried those principles into engineering. Through high-school and university design teams, I've learned to work collaboratively to solve difficult problems and turn ideas into practical solutions.

My co-ops at Mammoet and LiftWerx have shown me how engineering serves society. Working around nuclear infrastructure and developing operation drawings for field crews taught me the weight of precision and safety — a missed dimension shows up as a delay on site, or worse. At LiftWerx, I'm writing lift plans for the crews doing up-tower turbine work — gearbox, bearing, hub, and blade exchanges — the documents that let those repairs happen safely, on time, and keep clean-energy infrastructure running.

My favourite work sits at the seam between CAD and the shop floor. Drawings that survive contact with a fabricator. Parts that come off a mill inside spec on the first setup. Solutions that keep real, physical systems running.
