Crash and safety Engineer @ Toyota North America

About

I’m a passion-driven Vehicle Safety & CAE Engineer on a mission to make vehicles safer through purposeful design, cutting-edge simulation, and continuous learning. From leading FMVSS 201U load-cases for GM Interiors—including RRAB, SIAB, and Curtain Airbag systems—to reducing HIC via DFSS/DMAIC-based variation studies, I’ve taken ownership of complex challenges and delivered measurable impact in occupant protection. My work spans test-CAE correlation, root cause analysis, wire harness routing across environmental extremes, and improving simulation fidelity through connection strategy enhancements. My curiosity extends into the biomechanics space, where I’m currently building subject-specific Human Body Models to predict injuries such as chest deflection, rib and pelvis damage, and HIC across different BMI ranges and reclined postures. I believe engineering should serve real people in real-world scenarios, and that mindset drives my approach to design. My motivation? The belief that every simulation, every countermeasure, and every design decision can contribute to saving lives. Curious, hands-on, and always hungry to grow, I’m here to push the boundaries of vehicle safety and collaborate with others who share the same purpose.
