About · 01
A little about the person behind the projects
I got into engineering through four years of FRC, where I learned that I enjoy building things most when there is a real problem to solve and something on the line. I have spent those years designing robots, machining parts, and taking mechanisms from CAD to the field. I am now attending UT Austin to study Mechanical Engineering with a Robotics minor, where I hope to keep building on that experience and work on the kinds of systems that first got me excited about engineering.
Outside of engineering, I spend a lot of my time outdoors. I enjoy bouldering, climbing, hiking, and finding new places to explore. I also love cooking, especially experimenting with new dishes and learning how to make things from scratch. These are the things I tend to come back to when I am not working on a robot or a project.
