Nice to meet you, I’m Yifan!

I’m a Mechanical Engineering and Economics student at the University of Maryland (Banneker-Key Full-Ride Scholarship), seeking to bridge the gap between robust manufacturability, user-centered design/aesthetics, and economic viability. My experience combines industrial-scale prototyping projects with the user-focused simplicity of consumer-product startup work. My designs have been awarded for product-market fit (Pitch Dingman 2024, TSA 2024 Cohort), and my various engineering internship work has yielded measurable improvements in engineering efficiency and design. At school, you’ll find me running around the makerspace, building drones, and playing music.

What I Can Do:

  • Parametric 3D CAD Modeling (Solidworks, Inventor)

  • Mechatronic Prototyping (Cosmetic Enclosures, Advanced 3D Printing, Arduino, PCB Design, Computer Vision, Sensing)

  • Test Planning/Product Development
