About Me
 

My name is Thomas Felimond, and I am a mechanical engineering student at Old Dominion University with a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals and CAD design. As I continue exploring different areas within mechanical engineering, I’m intentionally seeking opportunities that broaden my experience and help me discover where I can make the greatest impact. I am currently pursuing internship opportunities where I can contribute meaningfully to a team while continuing to grow both technically and professionally.
