About Me

Curiosity isn’t just a trait; it’s a toolkit. I’ve spent much of my life trying to decipher the mysteries of the world, my career has been guided by curiosity, building a desire to understand how systems work, from the intricacies of physics to the practical mechanics of everyday technology. I approach challenges methodically, blending analytical thinking with hands-on problem-solving, whether in academic research, collaborative projects, or running a mobile mechanic business. Perseverance has also defined my journey. I thrive when dissecting complex problems, iterating solutions, and learning from setbacks. My analytical mindset drives me to look beyond surface-level answers, constantly asking, “What if?” and “How does this connect?” This natural inclination aligns with my strengths in critical thinking, adaptability, and precision, allowing me to navigate complex challenges across disciplines.

Academically, I’ve embraced roles that demand both rigor and empathy. As a teaching assistant and physics grader, I honed my ability to communicate technical concepts clearly, while co-founding a student organization taught me the value of adaptability in team-driven environments. Beyond theory, I’m motivated by real-world applications. Conducting research taught me to balance creativity with precision, while managing a mechanic business edified my technical skills and logistical problem-solving. These experiences reinforced that progress often hinges on collaboration, knowing when to lead, when to listen, and how to pivot when challenges arise. Whether troubleshooting a mechanical issue, refining a research approach, or analyzing patterns in data, I approach every task with patience and persistence.
