About

I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at Georgia Tech with a passion for robotics, CAD design, and building things that actually work in the real world. My engineering journey started in high school when I joined our FTC robotics team and discovered I could design complex mechanisms with nothing but a computer and curiosity.

Since then I've spent a summer at the University of Tokyo's Maki Lab rebuilding an autonomous surface vehicle from the hull up, researched instrumented biomechanics fixtures at Georgia Tech's PoWeR Lab, and taken on the mechanical design of RoboJackets' RoboNav rover. Earlier on, I interned at Keio University fabricating a cell-cultivation apparatus, and spent four years as CAD Lead and eventually Vice President of my high school's FTC team through a World Championship run. In 2026 I presented thermal-management research at the IEEE ECTC conference and won first place in the BS/MS student track.

I also serve as CTO of The Environmental Defense Initiative, a nonprofit where I built and maintain the organization's full-stack web platform. Outside of that, I maintain Hero Utilities, an open-source parametric CAD toolkit, and enjoy exploring new manufacturing techniques and mentoring younger students in CAD and robotics.
