About Me

Hi! My name is Tommy, and I’m a junior studying Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. I’m passionate about mechanical design, robotics, and electromechanical systems, and I’m driven to use engineering to create solutions that make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.

I grew up in Maryland and attended the German International School in Washington, DC. Speaking Spanish at home and German at school immersed me in a mix of cultures and perspectives. That experience shaped how I collaborate, communicate, and approach problem-solving with diverse teams.

At Hopkins, I serve as the Mechanical Lead for the Hopkinauts Mars Rover Team, where I help design and build our rover’s mechanical systems for the University Rover Challenge. I also work part-time as an Engineering Intern at the Maryland Zoo, developing systems that enhance animal well-being. In addition, I’m the Recruitment Chair for the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) at JHU, supporting community, mentorship, and professional development for Hispanic students in STEM.

In my free time, I love spending time with my dogs, Teddy and Lemon. I also enjoy playing soccer, drawing, and traveling!
