About Me

I recently completed my MS in Aero/Astro from Stanford, and did my undergrad in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Colorado. I am passionate about all things engineering, from mechanical design, electronics, and programming to rockets and robotics. Bringing designs and ideas into the physical world and working with my hands are my favorite things to do with spare time.

I really enjoy learning new skills, so I spend a lot of my free time pursuing personal projects that are way outside of my current scope of knowledge. This website is a way for me to showcase these projects as well as noteworthy research and schoolwork. I have spent countless hours since high school teaching myself new skills like programming, CAD and CAM, soldering, electronics, machining, welding, woodworking and even masonry. Building this website from scratch, in HTML, has been a great way for me to learn more about web development.

My Personal Projects

Fall 2024

My physical implementation of the classic cart-pole or inverted pendulum. READ MORE...

Spring 2023

A portaledge is a deployable sleeping platform for multiple day climbing objectives. In my style as opposed to buying a commercial product I opted to build it myself. READ MORE...

Fall 2020 - Spring 2021

My partner and I built out a 2004 Dodge Sprinter for the ultimate camping, climbing, adventuring-mobile. READ MORE...

Fall 2020

I built this 8 bit breadboard computer to learn more about digital logic and how computers work at the lowest level. READ MORE...

Spring 2020

I built this freestanding bouldering wall in my backyard so that I could still climb while the gyms were closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. READ MORE...

Summer 2019

This project was mainly an exercise in teaching myself more about the Fourier Transform and its application to functions in multiple dimensions. READ MORE...

Spring 2017

This was one of the first large scale projects that I completed. The project took around 3-4 months with plenty of iteration, but the final product is a 3-axis CNC Router capable of cutting wood and plastics. READ MORE...

2017-2018

Starting at the end of high school I built two 3D printers from scratch. The first one was my design and worked suprisingly well. The second printer was made with 3D printed parts from the first and is not my design. READ MORE...

Spring 2017

Building this turbine was my Senior Project in high school. I machined all the components on a cheap metal lathe and a drill press. The rotor and disks are made from steel while the casing is aluminum and the inlet is brass. Using compressed air the turbine can spin close to 100,000 rpm! READ MORE...

Summer 2014 - 2018

This is by far the longest lasting project I've worked on. Starting after my first year of high school, my dad and I built a wood fired pizza oven in my parents' backyard. READ MORE...

Here are a few of my smaller projects, or projects that were poorly documented. READ MORE...

Extracurriculars and Research

Fall 2019 - Spring 2021

For the last two years of undergrad I was a student researcher as a part of ARPG under advisement of Dr. Christoffer Heckman. I completed a number of hardware and software projects, and led my own research project in robotic navigation. READ MORE...

Fall 2018 - Spring 2021

As a part of the Colorado Space Grant Consortium, I worked as the Structures and Systems Team Leads for the RocketSat-X program. We built a passively deploying solar array system for future satelites, and our experiment flew on a sounding rocket in August of 2021. READ MORE...

Class Projects

Fall 2019

This was a group final project for my undergrad intro to robotics course. The goal was to utilize a depth camera to locate and intercept an enemy robot by deploying an actuated arm. READ MORE...

Fall 2019

Component Design is a class based upon a semester long project to build a drill powered vehicle to compete in a challenge at the end of the semester. Our group built a scooter built for endurance. READ MORE...
