Experienced professional with an emphasis in additive research. Demonstrated history of electromechanical assembly, robotics, 3D printing, CNCing, CAD modeling, and design engineering. Led a multitude of projects in consumer goods, advanced architectural fabrication technology, city and building planning, and temporary architectural structures, all of which add a holistic approach to his problem solving method. Worked and collaborated with Adidas, Walt Disney Imagineering, Arup, and Engineering Associates. Was awarded a residency at Autodesk for further research of tailored reinforcement of concrete 3D printing. Worked, studied, and lived in Japan, Germany, Boston, Wyoming, and Los Angeles. Seeking to expand my personal involvement in implementing advanced technological integration to fabrication.

Universität Stuttgart, Stuttgart, DE, Masters, ITECH
[The MSc Programme Integrative Technologies and Architectural Design Research is a multidisciplinary, research-oriented, experiment-based programme shaped around contemporary aspects of the built environment and practice.
The goal of the ITECH programme is to prepare students from different disciplines for the continuing advancement of technological and computational processes in architecture, as they merge the fields of design, engineering, construction and natural sciences. Coupling an intensive, critical and analytical approach to computational design, simulation and fabrication, the ITECH programme is focused on challenging the design space boundaries of current architectural and engineering practice. It seeks to provoke a re-examination of techniques, practices and theories of design in relation to the fields of engineering, robotics, digital manufacturing, material science and biology.]

Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), BArch, Architecture
[SCI-Arc teaches architects to engage, speculate, and innovate, to take the lead in reimagining the limits of architecture.
Our students and faculty critically examine the rich possibilities of the built environment. From design and materials to culture and experience, SCI-Arc asks questions regarding new theoretical constructs and designed realities to constitute possible futures. We contribute an imaginative, rigorous, and forward-thinking approach to help shape the future of the architectural profession.]
