Day to day, I work as a Principal Mechanical Engineer and am building ULTMECHE. I’m also a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of California and have been in engineering for 9+ years. I aim to make ULTMECHE the best resource when it comes to looking for a job. I started building ULTMECHE in 2020 during the pandemic by writing resumes for job seekers trying to land their dream engineering jobs.

I know the pain of applying to hundreds to job postings all too well. Had I known how to actually write a resume in college and when applying for my first entry level job, I would’ve gotten a high paying job offer way sooner. Tens of thousands of dollars lost just from opportunity cost alone, but I live and learn.

I enjoy things like being active, reading, and spending time with family and friends. In my blog, I’m going to be talking about day to day mechanical engineering things from a high level, what I’m working on, and job hunting tactics and strategies that work. I’ll also talk more about my personal life on here – bookmark and save this page for later!
