About Me

Hi there! I’m Gregory Dsouza :wave:,
a multidisciplinary Mechanical Engineer with a passion for solving complex problems across robotics, biomechanics, computer graphics, and software systems. With a strong foundation in dynamics, machine design, numerical methods, and algorithms, I specialize in creating innovative and efficient solutions that bridge hardware and software.

I’m proficient in a wide range of programming languages, including Python, C/C++, C#, Java, Ruby, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, GLSL, and HLSL. My experience spans biomedical systems, computer graphics and graphics programming, rapid prototyping, and adaptive biomechanical design to support paraplegics. I also bring hands-on expertise in VFX, video editing, image editing, web development, and creative media production.

This multidisciplinary background enables me to think across domains, collaborate effectively with diverse teams, and approach technical challenges from unique, hybrid perspectives. It’s helped me become not just a problem solver—but a systems thinker who connects the dots between engineering, design, and storytelling.

I hold professional certifications in Git and Linux and am currently seeking internship opportunities in robotics, biomedical engineering, software development, computer graphics, and related fields. If you’re working on a project that could benefit from an adaptable, creative, and technically grounded engineer, please reach out!

Experience

Teaching Assistant (ES 204: Engineering Dynamics), Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Jan 2025 — Apr 2025

Teaching Assistant for experimental section of Engineering Dynamics. Created and graded "mini-project" lab assignments for experimental project-based learning program for a class of 25 students. Integrated lab assignments to support project-based learning theme. Supported students by hosting out-of-class office-hours to understand student struggles on an individual basis.

Teaching Assistant (ME 320: Fundamentals of Biomechanics), Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Jan 2025 — Apr 2025

Graded assignments and assisted students with biomechanical analysis, including reach area evaluation and kinematic assessment using motion capture data. Provided guidance on applying transformation matrices and working within non-inertial reference frames to analyze segmental motion. Supported lab sessions and reinforced key concepts through one-on-one and group instruction.

Teaching Assistant (ME 326: Modeling and Simulation of Complex Engineering Problems), Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Sep 2024 — Dec 2024

Actively assisted students in their lab with learning various Numerical Methods and how to code them in Matlab. Reviewed class material and provided feedback to help improve the course. Provided supplementary information and resources to help students reach their learning outcomes.

Dynamics Course Grader, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Jan 2024 — May 2024

Learned how to step in the shoes of students and follow their problem-solving process to identify mistakes that they made on course assignments. Provided personalized feedback for each mistake and graded assignments according to course deadlines. Worked closely with the professor for the course to identify areas where students were struggling, and found ways to improve the course by helping students reach learning objectives.

B.S. Mechanical Engineering, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Oct 2021 — June 2025

Fueled by an interest in Mathematics and Science as well as a passion for problem-solving and critical thinking, I decided to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering and began my journey at Embry-Riddle just after turning 17. Going to this school has not just taught me about Mechanical Engineering, but has also given me the opportunity to explore my interests and interact with some of the most amazing individuals. It has equipped me with tools to collaborate effectively, while being able to observe many different thinking styles and problem-solving approaches.
