I’m a senior Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Rhode Island, with a minor in Nuclear Engineering and a B.A. in Italian. After internships in aerospace manufacturing and submarine design, I’m spending my fifth year studying in Italy and looking for a 6-month engineering internship — ideally contributing to Ferrari starting in early 2026.
Designed as a living portfolio – updated as new projects and research milestones ship.
A quick overview of my academic path, technical interests, and why I’m drawn to high-performance engineering environments like Ferrari.
I’m completing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Nuclear Engineering and a B.A. in Italian at the University of Rhode Island (GPA 3.3). My technical foundation comes from courses in power plant system design and safety analysis, materials in nuclear applications, space nuclear power and propulsion, finite element methods, and more.
Professionally, I’ve worked as a Manufacturing Engineer Intern at Barnes Aerospace and an Engineering & Design Intern at General Dynamics Electric Boat. I’ve supported projects ranging from consumable tool optimization and NPI documentation to engineering calculations, mechanical drawings, and change notice revisions for Columbia-class submarines.
Right now I’m in the Italian International Engineering Program, completing my fifth year studying and working abroad in Italy. I’m looking for a 6-month internship where I can bring together my experience in power systems, manufacturing, and safety-critical design — with a special interest in high-performance environments like Ferrari.
How my skills and mindset align with the type of engineering culture I see at Ferrari.
From college athletics to engineering internships, I’m used to measuring success by real-world performance: does the system run faster, safer, and more efficiently? That mindset aligns well with Ferrari’s focus on lap time, reliability, and extracting every last bit of performance from the car–driver–team system.
My work ranges from converting coal plants to SMR-powered stations for AI data centers, to microfluidic devices, and creating new innovative robots. I enjoy working at the interfaces between power, materials, control, and software — similar to integrating subsystems in a modern vehicle.
Studying abroad in Italy as part of the International Engineering Program and speaking Italian allows me to adapt quickly to local culture while collaborating with international teammates. I’d love to bring that perspective to a global brand rooted in Italian engineering.
A selection of projects, research, and industry experience that shows how I approach engineering problems from concept to result.
Developing a replicable process to convert existing coal power plants into nuclear plants using small modular reactors (SMRs). Work includes infrastructure reuse, safety and decarbonization analysis, and exploring how SMRs can reliably power AI data centers with high and variable demand.
Designing a robot capable of detecting multiple radiation sources or spills within a lab environment. Focus on sensor integration, mapping, and ensuring reliable detection while keeping operators at a safe distance.
Contributed to research on a microfluidic device that uses surface traveling acoustic waves (STAW) to separate microplastics from blood. Supported experimental design and analysis to understand separation efficiency and device behavior. My role as a mechanical engineer was to create new tool fixtures and templates for different geometries of drug capsules.
This one is a special project. My good friend and I have worked for 6 months developing a fully functional and capable robotic arm that we built from scratch. We innovated all the housing components from 3D printed parts, integrated an AI model into its program for voice control capabilities, and we are continuously developing and improving our work.
Owned a consumable tool consolidation project to reduce the number of tools purchased and increase machined parts per tool. Supported programmers and process engineers with control plans, NPI documentation, and clear operator instructions. During my rotation I also spent time with fluorescent penetrant inspection, GD&T, and first piece and final inspection.
Worked in the Common Missile Compartment group for Columbia-class submarines, performing engineering calculations for forces and stresses, reviewing mechanical drawings and tolerances, supporting change notices, and building spreadsheets for part tracking and reliability. During my time I conducted part inspections for access door seals for the missile tubes.
Led teammates on and off the field while managing fundraising, events, and team culture. This role sharpened my communication, accountability, and ability to perform under pressure — skills I bring directly into engineering projects. Our team made 4 straight National tournament appearances from 2021-2025 where during my final season I earned Captain.
Designed rockets and launch systems along with other members for a national competition. Designed the ignition system for the rocket with 3D printed housing and proper safety measures. As a group we successfully launched a rocket to 30,000 ft with 2 L of fuel.
