    About

    I build things and fix what testing shows me

    I'm a mechanical engineering student at Stevens Institute of Technology in the accelerated B.E. / M.Eng. program in robotics. I grew up in Los Angeles taking things apart and drawing what I wanted to build next.

    Most of what I do comes down to designing something, building it, and fixing what testing shows me. On every project here I did the CAD, the wiring and the code myself.
