field notes, 2026
Hey, I'm Anthony.
Mechanical engineering student at Virginia Tech, returning full time to Caterpillar this upcoming summer. Before that, two rotations at Altec Industries designing digger derricks, and a handful of really cool projects during my time at VT. This is where I keep the things I build, the things I learn, and the notes I'd have wanted someone to hand me.
Right now: wrapping up my last two semester at school and reading Dune.
