I'm a senior Mechanical Engineering student at Boston University with a passion for bridging traditional mechanical systems with cutting-edge software implementation and robotics. Welcome to my portfolio showcasing innovative projects at the intersection of hardware and software.
Get to know me and my engineering journey
I'm a student of the world who thrives on hands-on work. Whether I'm programming Arduino controllers, machining parts in BU's machine shop, or rebuilding 70's motorcycle engines, I love bringing theoretical concepts to life through practical application. My academic foundation in mechanical systems and materials science comes together best when I'm actually building something.
My primary interest lies in robotics and software-integrated systems—creating intelligent machines that can sense and respond to their environment. Outside of engineering, I'm passionate about photography, skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, bicycling, and more. These diverse interests keep me creative and often inspire fresh approaches to engineering challenges.
