Right now

I study industrial engineering at Kettering. The school runs on alternating terms, so I spend three months in class and three months working, back and forth.

Currently I co-op at Tesla in the Bay Area. I'm a PCBA SIE, and I've built two apps for the team. One tracks capacity across all of our PCBA suppliers, and the other is a central hub where anyone can follow a part's whole process, from the first design all the way to end of life. I go on site as well and solve problems daily to help keep lines running.

I shoot film when I'm not doing that.

Education

  1. Kettering University Oct 2024 › Now · Flint, MI

    BS, Industrial Engineering

    Junior, B-Section. Kettering alternates academic and work terms, so the degree runs alongside the co-op rather than after it.

  2. Milken Community School Aug 2020 › Jun 2024 · Los Angeles, CA

    High school diploma

Experience

  1. Tesla Jan 2026 › Now · Palo Alto, CA

    Supplier Industrialization Engineer, PCBA

    Defined and validated end-to-end production with contract manufacturers. Brought average PCB cost down 38% and cycle time down 73% across suppliers. I also built two apps for the team. One tracks capacity across all our PCBA suppliers by mapping EDI demand to line level PCBAs, so we catch utilization problems early. The other is a hub where the team can see a part's whole process flow, from first design to end of life.

  2. Brembo North America Jan › Mar 2025 · Jackson, MI

    Industrial Engineering Intern

    Moved outsourced production back in house and saved $200K a year doing it. Reworked the end-of-arm tooling so maintenance went from weekly to quarterly. 3D-scanned 75+ pattern plates and built color maps to track wear.

  3. Advanced 3D Printing Jan 2023 › Dec 2024 · Los Angeles, CA

    PCB Designer

    Designed small plug-and-play boards that became standard in high-speed custom printer builds. Sold over 500 of them, ran tier-3 support, and spent a lot of trade shows explaining what they were for.

  4. FRC 1836 Jun 2023 › Jun 2024 · Los Angeles, CA

    Ran the school robotics team. Design instruction, tournament logistics, and keeping everyone pointed the same direction.
