Hi! I'm Xander, a mechanical engineer who enjoys
baking, board games, and various metalworking crafts.

I'm lucky to have been a part of some great engineer-
ing teams. Right now I'm at Helion Energy building a
fusion generator prototype. In the past I've helped
build robots, run CNC mills, design an electric race 
car transmission, and develop instruments for the
biotech industry. See my resume for highlights.

Outside of my professional/mechanical work I've been
programming as a hobby for a while. See my GitHub for
my projects.

I also enjoy puzzles! I was part of the winning MIT
Mystery Hunt team ✈✈✈ Galactic Trendsetters ✈✈✈ in
2020 and wrote for the 2021 hunt. See my puzzle page
for more.
