During my time in high school and college, I worked as a mechanic to fuel my passion for cars, servicing a wide range of automotive brands and manufacturers. This experience provided me with a comparative insight that cannot be taught in a lecture hall.
I developed a critical eye for what truly works. I identified patterns in component failure, observed where aesthetic choices compromised function, and learned exactly which designs are easy to repair and which are hostile to mechanics. Often working without manuals on aging vehicles or correcting poor manufacturing decisions, I had to think on my feet to innovate solutions on the fly.
Today, my engineering philosophy is backed by this dataset of hundreds of vehicles. This real-world experience is my greatest asset as an innovator. It allows me to look at a blueprint and see the future implications of every line, ensuring I create solutions that balance form, function, and repairability
Harquail Bros Inc. was my place of work for two years.
