My Background

Hello Internet! I'm a third-year undergrad in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. My interests lie in pursuing advancements within the fields of robotics and autonomy, though I'm always open to experimenting with new ideas. I'm passionate about exploring technology's impact on human culture and society, perfecting the art of storytelling, lining up golden shots in foosball, and cheering on the Dallas Mavericks no matter the odds.

Code

I've worked with C/C++ in robotics, Python to develop path planning algorithms and simulations, and Java through Eclipse for general-purpose projects and competitive programming.

Tools

I've used ODROIDs, Raspberry Pis, and Arduinos to operate several robot builds. In a Linux shell, I use Vim to edit files and Git for file management.

Featured Projects

UkuleleBot

Built with C/C++, Arduino, SolidWorks

UkuleleBot is a robot that can play a ukulele by itself. I took part in design and construction of its 3D-printed frame, as well as programming its linear actuators and servos.

UkuleleBot was constructed as a project within the RobOrchestra group of Carnegie Mellon's RoboClub.

MoonRanger

Worked with ROS and Docker

MoonRanger is Carnegie Mellon's autonomous ice-finding moon rover mission, scheduled for launch in 2022.

As a navigation programmer and software documentation lead, I researched path planning methods, memory radiation-hardening techniques, and CI/CD workflow concepts.

Beacon: Democratized Disaster Response

Built with iOS, Swift

Beacon is a location-tracking app that organizes local rescue operations during and after natural disasters. Inspired by personal experiences in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, Beacon coordinates communications between both rescuers and victims, who can display their status and other emergency notifications as necessary.

Beacon was designed and built in Fall 2019 at PennApps XX, a hackathon at the University of Pennsylvania.
