MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

I turn engineering problems into
working solutions.

Mechanical Engineering Student

Mechanical Engineering student focused on aerospace, mechanical design, and prototyping. I use CAD, 3D printing, and automation to move ideas from concept to something that can be built, tested, and improved.

01 — ABOUT

What keeps me building

I like turning ideas into things that can be tested.

My process is simple: understand the problem, sketch it, model it, build it, test it, and improve it. That mindset has taken me from CAD and 3D-printed prototypes to aerospace maintenance environments, engineering challenges, startup building, and teaching.

Engineering is how I approach problems: build early, learn quickly, and keep improving.

Toca Technologies

Founder & CEO

Turning physical touchpoints into digital actions.

Toca Technologies is a hospitality technology startup using NFC technology to connect physical touchpoints with instant digital experiences.

Through NFC-enabled devices, Toca allows restaurant guests to access actions like Google Reviews, menus, Wi-Fi, social media and other digital experiences with a simple tap.

I'm building Toca across hardware, software, product, manufacturing and go-to-market.

Professional Experience

Engineering Assistant

Bischoff Aerospace

Miami, FL · Summer 2024

A company specializing in the certified overhaul of Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney aircraft turbines.

Gained hands-on exposure to aircraft turbine maintenance, component inspection, technical documentation, and the traceability requirements behind certified aerospace repair.

This experience became my first close look at how mechanical engineering decisions translate into real aerospace operations.

Engineering Assistant

Bischoff Aerospace

Miami, FL · Aug 2025 – Jul 2026

A company specializing in the certified overhaul of Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney aircraft turbines.

Designed components and functional prototypes using CAD and 3D printing to improve technical validation and manufacturing workflows.

Produced engineering documentation aligned with aerospace quality and safety requirements.

Automated document workflows with n8n to reduce administrative processing time.

Supported engineers and technicians in certified Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney turbine maintenance and repair.

Elective Class Instructor

Engineering Challenges & Making

School students · Elective course

A hands-on elective built around engineering challenges, maker culture and prototyping.

Teach a hands-on engineering elective where students move through the full design process: defining problems, sketching ideas, prototyping, CAD modeling, 3D printing, testing, and iteration.

I design the curriculum, projects, presentations, and classroom activities around one goal: helping students turn ideas into things they can actually build and improve.

Things I've built

Second Place

Boeing Engineering Challenge

Florida International University

Led the conceptual design and 3D modeling of a modular maintenance-access platform for the Boeing 787 Section 41.

Designed an adjustable working-height system around mechanical design, accessibility, and industrial safety constraints.

Worked with the team to turn a real aerospace maintenance problem into a buildable engineering concept.

The project earned 2nd Place in the Boeing Engineering Challenge.

Fellow · 2026

Makers Fellowship

Latin America · ~1% Acceptance Rate

Selected for Makers Fellowship, a Latin American program for young founders building technology startups.

I use the program to build, validate, and iterate on startup ideas through product development, rapid experimentation, mentorship, and direct user feedback.

The goal is not just to have ideas. It is to build them, put them in front of people, and learn what works.

Let's build something.

I'm open to mechanical engineering internships, aerospace projects, and product-development opportunities.

If you need someone who can move from problem → CAD → prototype → iteration, I'd like to hear about it.
