About Me
Passionate about building elegant solutions to widespread problems, and mechanical engineering provides a broad toolkit to do so. I'm a student based in the SF Bay Area, attending university in Boston, and I enjoy robotics and product design. In my free time, I play competitive tennis, read, and explore with friends.
Formula SAE
Cooling System Team Member
Developed a custom radiator test bench to empirically validate flow rate & pressure differentials, resulting in a 30% smaller radiator. Thermal analysis enabled integration of an electric water pump, eliminating idle temperature spikes.
Human-to-Everything
Undergraduate Researcher
Building ML pipelines to optimize latency vs. accuracy trade-offs for robotic vision systems. Validating model resilience by benchmarking on physical robots under real-world RF interference.
Tennis Ball Pickup/Feeder
Tennis Captain
Designed a dual-function collection and feeding machine that saves 30 minutes of manual ball retrieval per practice session at a lower cost than commercial options.
Smart Window
Team Lead
Integrated indoor/outdoor temperature and particulate sensors to build a smart window system. Implemented a night-flush cooling algorithm that reduced AC load by 50%, saving $200 annually according to national averages.
Point to Point Communication
Team Lead
Built a directional IR communication system with a rotating transmitter and receiver using Arduino, stepper motor, and keypad with custom PETG housing. Achieved 100% accuracy at 16m range with 10° angle tolerance.
Samsung Solve for Tomorrow
Team Lead
Designed a two-stage erosion detection system: modified drones for aerial image analysis paired with an autonomous rover for ground-truth verification. Reached state finals (top 1% of 30,000 teams), winning a $5,000 grant.
Go Kart
Team Lead
Integrated drivetrain, steering, and braking systems as a proof-of-concept for starting an FSAE team. Welded a steel tube chassis using sourced scrap metal.
