About Me
I'm Tom Homer, a 16 year old mechanical engineering student with a strong interest in design, rapid prototyping, and real-world problem solving. I enjoy bringing ideas to life through CAD, simulation, and hands-on building. Whether I'm modeling armor inspired by games or analyzing part stresses, I focus on function, creativity, and impact.
