Mechanical Engineering, Oregon State University
I build automation and robotics systems, from PLC controlled industrial equipment to mechanical subsystems for a Mars rover to simulated space robotics. Rising junior in Mechanical Engineering with a Robotic Control option at Oregon State University, looking for Summer 2027 internships in robotics, automation, controls, hardware, and manufacturing.
Selected work
A closer look at the automation, robotics, and mechanical design work behind the resume, including what is finished, what is in progress, and how each project actually happened.
Automation Engineering Intern, Portland, Oregon
Developing and modifying industrial PLC ladder logic in Allen-Bradley Studio 5000 for automation and manufacturing applications, supporting commissioning and troubleshooting of PLC controlled equipment, and integrating sensors, actuators, and electrical control systems into customer solutions.
