About

Matthew Sabag

I'm a 3rd year mechanical engineering student at the University of Florida who enjoys taking projects from a rough sketch to a working prototype. I'm especially interested in structural design, manufacturing processes, and how mechanical systems perform in the real world. I'm currently looking for work, whether that's a full-time role, part-time, an internship, or a co-op. I'm eager to work with a team on engineering tasks, designs, and projects of any scale.
