Mechanical Designer | Email

Ari joined CSEI in August of 2022. He graduated from the University of Florida with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 2020. Before joining the team, Ari spent time as a high school math teacher, HVAC sales engineer, and product developer for a startup company.

Outside of work he likes to spend time with his beagle/hound mix, Charlie, and his cat, W.C. Ari enjoys cooking, camping, hiking, the beach, musical events, dog training, trips, and any quality time with friends. He has family in Greece and Canada whom he loves visiting.

Ari realized his passion for engineering during a period in his childhood where his enthusiasm for pyrotechnics became a practical application of knowledge in his construction of a flamethrower. The result was a combination of plumbing components that effectively sustained a stream of fire. After going through his own design process, Ari was inspired to refine his design skills by pursuing a degree in engineering.
