About
Recent Duke BME graduate (BSE in Biomedical Engineering - '26) with hands-on experience across medical device R&D, embedded systems, and clinical research. Put simply, I love building things: from PCB-level hardware and firmware to bacterial testing protocols and FDA-compliant clinical workflows.Most recently, I've been working as an R&D Research Engineer at Reselute Medical and as a Classroom R&D Engineer in Duke's BME department, where I designed and validated electronic lab hardware used by students every day. I'm also a co-founder of P.A.T.S. Development, where our team built an arterial line training device in collaboration with Duke Med — backed by a $5K VentureWell grant and a provisional patent.I'm now actively looking for full-time roles in medical device engineering, embedded systems, or hardware R&D where I can keep building things that matter. If that sounds like your team, I'd love to chat.
