I build things that move, sense, and compute — from competition robots to embedded firmware and CAD-driven mechanical design. This is a working record of what I've made, what I've measured, and what I learned when it didn't work the first time.
I'm a senior at Flower Mound High School with a habit of taking things apart to understand how they work — and a slightly worse habit of trying to make them work better. My interests sit at the intersection of mechanical design and embedded software: the place where a physical mechanism meets the code that controls it.
Most of what I've learned came from projects that failed before they worked — a robot drivetrain that stripped its gears, a sensor array that drowned in noise, a print that warped off the bed at 2 a.m. Debugging hardware taught me to be systematic, to measure instead of guess, and to keep a notebook.
Outside the shop I captain my robotics team's mechanical subgroup, tutor underclassmen in physics, and I'm happiest explaining a tricky idea until it finally clicks for someone else.
Designed and built a differential-drive robot with a PID-controlled IR sensor array, custom 3D-printed chassis, and a custom PCB for motor control.
Led a 6-student subteam to design and machine a swerve-drive base for our FIRST Robotics Competition robot, owning CAD, tolerancing, and on-field iteration.
Built three solar-powered ESP32 nodes that log PM2.5 and temperature to a live dashboard, deployed around campus to map air quality during construction.
Tested 3D-printed lattice infill patterns under load to compare stiffness-to-weight ratios, working with a university mentor and a calibrated test rig.
Lead the mechanical subteam; manage build schedule and mentor new members.
Organize build nights and competition prep for 30+ members.
[Sport, music, debate — show commitment outside engineering too.]
Service hours and peer tutoring.
