I'm Kaitlyn.
Profile
I am a mechanical engineer and designer from Northern California. I am currently completing a graduate degree with the Mechanical Engineering department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I hope to work at the intersection of mechanical design, product design, design methodology, and computational engineering to improve manufacturing systems and augment the human-based design process with computational tools.
Experience
I have a diverse background: research in educational haptics and soil science, as well as two summer internships in industry (Boeing and Nothrop Grumman). I have multiple side projects in global engineering and continually design and fabricate for fun as well.
