About Me

Berkeley

I’m on Cal Aero SAE’s avionics team, where I built a motor test jig that measures thrust to choose the motors for our competition RC plane, and I’m designing an ESP32 telemetry and black-box system that corrects for turbulence through the propellers’ power. I’m also logistics director at Hackathons @ Berkeley: catering, hacker buses, and merchandise for Cal Hacks 13.0, with more than 3,000 attendees.

Rockets

I spent the summer of 2024 as an AFRL Scholars intern in Albuquerque, where I designed, built, and tested a staged-recovery rocket through eleven design iterations in OpenRocket and CAD. It reached 3,200 feet on its barometric altimeter and came back under its parachute. The rest of that summer went to the machine shop: FDM and resin printers, a CNC lathe and mill, and a laser cutter. At school I founded and captained an American Rocketry Challenge team.

Robots

In 2023 I co-founded my high school’s first VEX V5RC team and became its programmer. I wrote the autonomous navigation in C++: odometry, sensor fusion, motion profiling, and Monte Carlo localization, so the robot could work out where it was and get where it was going. The program grew to seven teams and about 60 students, with nine national appearances and back-to-back national division finals in 2024 and 2025.

Security

Four years of CyberPatriot, as my team’s Windows specialist and then its captain: second place at the National Finals twice, in 2025 and 2026, and first place in the Cisco Networking Challenge both years. I also taught it, to about 200 students over two years.

Software

Most of my software orbits Software, one of the two suns of Projects: FishAI, bots for Canadian Fish (a six-player card game) and the lab that measures them, and Days2Meet, a scheduling poll for the plans where hours are meaningless. At the Corgi Hackathon during Y Combinator’s Startup School in 2026 I built RunItBack in twelve hours, a tool that turns a single photo into an interactive 3D environment for dementia reminiscence therapy, and placed 5th of more than 1,000 competitors.

Work

At Raytheon in the summer of 2025, as a systems engineering intern, I reverse-engineered an Arduino-based robotic system and produced its technical documentation, wiring diagrams, and CAD models, while shadowing the mechanical, electrical, software, and systems teams.

Community

I founded my school’s emergency preparedness club: three Teen CERT trainings and two First Aid/BLS trainings, about 150 students certified, more than 300 families reached, and over 2,000 volunteer hours, which earned me a U.S. Congressional Certificate of Recognition.
