About Me

Hi, I'm John.

I’m a senior studying mechanical engineering with a concentration in manufacturing and certificate in design. I make products that work by using function to drive form. My skills in hands-on prototyping and machining allow me to design for manufacturability and practicality.

From my experience as Northwestern Formula Racing’s chassis team lead, interning at Power Solutions International, and my extensive Hot Wheels collection, you can tell I’ve always been interested in automotive engineering. I hope to make the next generation of cars safer, more reliable, and more fun!
