About Me

My name is Melody, I'm a highly motivated mechanical engineer in San Francisco, CA.

As an independent thinker, I truly believe in everything is figureoutable! Nothing is hard, they just take a long time, consistency, and discipline. I have developed strong interpersonal and communication skills required to succeed. With my outgoing personality, I bring people together and encourage teammates to innovate and thrive. Throughout all of my experiences, I learned that I enjoyed solving problems with creativity, innovation, and collaboration with teams, and I am more passionate in working on AV or climate tech products.

Think we should work together? I'd love to hear from you!
