Hey! I’m Jake,

I’m a recent Mechanical Engineering graduate based in New York City, holding a bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My passion lies in developing data-driven mechanical devices and simulations, and I thrive in collaborative environments where knowledge and insights are freely shared.

Over the past few years, I've immersed myself in a variety of projects—both academic and personal—that have significantly broadened my skills and perspectives. This site showcases some of these projects, along with new endeavors and topics that spark my curiosity.

I am a firm believer in the power of continuous learning, thus always trying to stay updated with the latest developments in silicon manufacturing, geopolitics, machine learning, and neuroscience. When I’m not working on new projects in my garage, you can find me capturing moments through photography, exploring new places, watching college basketball, or perfecting my golf swing.

Welcome to my portfolio. Feel free to explore my work, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, thoughts, or simply want to chat!
