Monte Carlo neutron transport simulation built with OpenMC to model reactor-core behavior, neutron flux distributions, and criticality conditions in a simplified PWR geometry.
Bridging reactor theory with computational physics — from MIT 22.02 coursework to applied simulation.
End-to-end mechanical and piping system design across nuclear, pharmaceutical, and industrial facilities — including flow calculations, equipment sizing, P&ID validation, and code compliance.
Applied ASME B31.3, API 570, NFPA, and ASHRAE across real project environments at VR Mechanical Solutions.
Led and participated in BIM-driven coordination for commercial, data center, and nuclear projects — using clash detection, model validation, and quantity take-offs to optimize cost and schedule outcomes.
Procore-certified BIM Manager. Clash detection workflows resolved design conflicts before construction began.
Python and Excel VBA tooling for flow calculations (Darcy-Weisbach, Hazen-Williams), equipment sizing, lifecycle cost analysis, and QA/QC tracking across multi-discipline project teams.
Automated data pipelines reduced manual review time and improved centralized document control accuracy.
I'm a second-year Mechanical Engineering student at Ontario Tech University, focused on nuclear systems, mechanical design, and the intersection of technical precision with thoughtful execution.
My background spans hands-on internship work at a mechanical design consultancy — across nuclear, pharmaceutical, and industrial projects — MIT-level nuclear physics coursework, BIM coordination on real construction schedules, and a growing interest in how well-designed systems shape outcomes.
I'm bilingual (English & French), Procore-certified as a BIM Manager, Engineer, and Project Manager, and building toward a career in nuclear engineering — particularly next-generation reactor design and nuclear-adjacent mechanical systems.
