About Me

I’m a 4th year Aerospace Engineering major set to graduate in spring 2019. But here’s the interesting part. I’m actually more interested in intelligent energy systems and harvesting energy, whether it be solar, wind, or hydropower, than I am with aerospace. My strongest skills are my machining abilities. I’m also proficient with CAD, and other softwares like LabVIEW and MATLAB. I desire to find a role in developing solutions to our energy crisis using intelligent and sustainable energy systems.

Project Summary

Here are some of the projects I have completed. My projects vary from simple wooden bridge construction to robotics competition to satellite simulations on MATLAB. I am continuously looking for new projects to pursue, whether it be with an organization or a personal project. A great joy comes from seeing an idea come to life. For a more in-depth look into my projects, go to My Projects, or click on the individual project links.
