Innovating at the intersection of
Engineering & Exploration.
A student at Olin College of Engineering with a passion for aerospace, robotics, and developing technology to solve real-world problems.
About Me
I am driven by a passion for aviation and mechanics, leveraging skills in modeling and programming to engineer creative solutions.
This portfolio showcases my hands-on work, including pioneering research, passion projects, and objects I created.
I thrive in collaborative environments where I can apply my skills to create impactful solutions.
Mechanical Projects
Robotic Arm
A personal project - This project involves the design, fabrication, and control of a cable-driven robotic arm biologically inspired by octopus tentacles.

Personal Project
I created a Twenty One Pilots Logo Necklace for my sister who is a huge fan of the band. It was a fun little project for me which allowed me to put some of my skills to use. I used Onshape, Fusion CAM, CNC Mill, and Manual Mill to craft it out of an Aluminum block.

Take It Easy
A program that helps you read slow! For everyone who wants to take it a little easy. Take it Easy takes a piece of text and prints it word by word. After printing each word, the program pauses to allow the reader to have read the word before printing the next word.

Olin College Office of Strategic Communication (OSCOM)
Photographer and Drone Pilot
Professional photographer for Olin College; photograph and record campus events, classroom projects, and student personal projects.
Fly drone to take aerial pictures and videos of campus and/or campus events.
Work featured across Olin Social accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
NASA Ames Research Center
Aviation Systems Division Intern
Worked in a team to identify and propose a solution for a societal problem using aviation. Proposed using self-sacrificing UAVs to spread fire retardants. Co-authored a research paper published on the NASA Technical Reports Server.
Mars Institute
Global Research Internship Program (MI-GRIP)
Interned 1-on-1 with Dr. Pascal Lee, working on a "GlobeTrotter-Lunar" (GTL) concept for lunar surface and subsurface exploration. Created use-case simulations and first-authored a paper for the Lunar Exploration Analysis Group.
Chabot Space and Science Center
Zenith Galaxy Explorer (Volunteer)
Engaged with visitors to share the wonders of science. Participated in Rocketry and Engineering clubs, fostering a passion for STEM in the community.
Aviation
I'm fascinated by flight - and not just theoretically; I am an FAA-certified (Part 107) commercial drone pilot and dedicated the summer of 2025 to pursuing my private pilot license at the Livermore Municipal airport (KLVK) in California.
Learning to fly has been my childhood dream but I did not appreciate how demanding it can be! The flying lessons, and studying for the PPL written exams gave me a much deeper appreciation for airplane design, ground communication, ATC, and airplane pilots.
Creative Pursuits
Beyond engineering, I have a passion for capturing the world from different perspectives through photography and drone videography.
