ASPIRING MECHANICAL ENGINEER
WITH A PHYSICS PERSPECTIVE

A physics foundation.
A hands-on
perspective.

I’m Becker. I explore how things work through CAD, materials testing, machining, and repair,  bringing understanding into design.
Latest internship. The PerkinElmer TGA 8000 thermogravimetric analyzer and a mass-loss curve from the ISC Lab at SIGIT Group, Turin, Italy

DESIGN · SOLIDWORKS
From CAD to a working fit.
VR6 engine model
A self-taught assembly project exploring component geometry, fit, and design for PLA.

Project 04. Harquail Bros. storefront, where Becker worked as a mechanic
EXPERIENCE · AUTOMOTIVE
Designed with repair in mind.
Hands-on mechanic experience
Automotive service experience that shapes how I think about reliability and repairability.

02 / PERSPECTIVE
Good engineering starts with understanding.
I want to design things that work in the real world—and can be maintained there.


My foundation in physics and experience as a mechanic shape how I approach engineering. Working with real parts has made me attentive to failure, function, and the people who have to repair what we build.

Beyond the workshop, I write about technology and culture. My time in Syria has also shaped a long-term ambition: to build an engineering business in Damascus and contribute practical solutions to its rebuilding.

03 / WRITING
