Background
I was born in Rochester, New York and grew up in Texas, where I got into engineering through robotics and never really left. In high school I led a NASA HUNCH team to State Championship and National Finalist recognition in the Software Division, spent a summer doing astrophysics research at UTRGV, and interned with Allen ISD building a navigation app for a 200-acre campus. I am now in my second year at Texas A&M, on the avionics team of the Rocket Engine Design Club.
How I work
Most of what I have built lives at the boundary between code and hardware: an Arduino sensor stack feeding a Firebase backend, an A* router running over a map graph digitized in QGIS, a KiCad board that has to survive a test stand. I like problems where the software has a physical consequence, and projects that get handed to real users rather than stopping at a demo.
The same goes for teaching. I founded Cyber Scholars with friends to teach programming to younger students, wrote a seven-lesson curriculum for it, and served on the board of the Inclusive Computing Initiative, which brings STEM to students with special needs.
Right now
I am looking for software and embedded engineering internships where I can keep building systems end to end. The fastest way to reach me is email, and my code is on GitHub.
