I'm a senior Mechanical Engineering student excited by hands-on prototyping, robotic systems, and hardware-software integration. With a strong foundation in design and manufacturing, I build efficient mechanical systems enhanced by smart programming that drive to solve real-world problems. Welcome to my portfolio showcasing my skills and projects.
A collection of my engineering projects and achievements

Technologies and tools I work with
Outside the classroom, I'm always exploring passions that fuel creativity and drive innovation, from skateboarding and surfing to cycling, snowboarding and beyond. I have a deep appreciation for analog tech, specifically vintage cameras and old motorcycles. I love working on, repairing, and improving any system I can get my hands on. When I'm not tinkering in my garage or skating with friends, I'm likely outdoors exploring and discovering new places!
