Hi! My name is Aiden and I'm currently a fourth-year student at the University of California, Davis, studying Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
I have always enjoyed seeing the inner workings of mechanisms. Growing up, I'd take apart toys and household appliances to see if I could reattach all the parts. Here's a picture of a simple wind-up toy I disassembled for a mechanical design class I took. It was so cool to see the inner workings of such a small machine.
In my free time, I enjoy snowboarding with friends. It's always a thrill to be able to glide down the slopes after a powdery snowstorm. Here's a picture of me taking a break on the Tahoe slopes. One time, my bindings broke off while I was on my way down from the mountain. Luckily, my friend had brought up a repair kit, so we were able to quickly fix the part.
