About

I'm a mechanical engineer in the Chicago area. I currently work as a design engineer in the agricultural machinery industry, but in college I focused on applied thermodynamics and material behavior and failure.

Though I am a proud graduate of the University of Illinois, my icon should not convey any official relationship with the University, nor that I am at all acting on their behalf.
