Mechanical engineering at Purdue. Top 8% at VEX Worlds.

I'm a first-year looking for a Summer 2027 internship in mechanical design, aerospace, or robotics. I spent six years on a VEX team in Santa Ana, California, and was captain for the last 3. On our last two robots I drew the mechanisms in CAD, built the parts, and wrote the code. Last season we finished in the top 8% at the World Championship, and our team ranked #33 in the world in programming skills.
