ABOUT ME

I'm Derek, a third-year mechanical engineering student at Boston University, concentrating in manufacturing engineering. Born and raised in San Jose, California, I've always been fascinated by how things are built and how they work. My academic and professional journey has given me hands-on experience with manufacturing processes, electrical systems, and problem-solving in engineering design.

Outside of engineering, I’m a big fan of cars—whether it’s learning about their mechanics, performance tuning, or just appreciating great designs. I play volleyball, and love watching and following UFC and basketball, always keeping up with the latest fights and games. In my free time, I enjoy playing chess, cards, and spending quality time with friends and family.

Feel free to connect with me—I'm always up for a conversation about engineering, cars, sports, or a good strategy game!
