Finished my mechanical engineering undergrad at Purdue; starting the master's — lately pointed toward where energy meets computing. Led a 20-person team through two DOE collegiate competitions while keeping shop hours training the next 400 machinists.

Start with ThermOcean — the flagship build — then the resume.
