A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Always curious.
Always building.

Spacecraft testbed CAD assembly

Hi, I’m Patrick.

I’m a junior studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Florida, graduating in May 2028. My interests sit at the intersection of mechanical design, manufacturing, and simulation.

I enjoy pushing the limits of what we can design, build, and explore—especially in team settings. My projects have taken me from underwater robotics and manufacturing to spacecraft testbeds and battery cooling.

At UF, I contribute to the STAR Lab, Solar Gators, and Florida Rocket Lab. I’m also working on research comparing battery-cooling configurations for an AIAA Student Conference paper.
