The things that make me, me.

Hi, I'm Dena.

I am someone who enjoys turning complex system-level problems into clear, thoughtful, and robust physical and digital experiences. My perspective is shaped by hands-on engineering across aerospace, energy, and consumer tech.

Most recently, I've worked on fluid systems for vehicle purge at NASA and analyzed cell performance at Tesla. I enjoy bringing a creative lens to technical challenges, ensuring that systems are as aesthetically thoughtful as they are functional.
