ABOUT
EDUCATION
Downingtown STEM Academy — IB Diploma Candidate (Class of 2026). Pathway: Robotics I–III. HL: Math AA, Physics, Economics; SL: German, Literature, TOK. Weighted GPA 4.35.
I build end-to-end systems: perception and control on hardware, plus full-stack web apps that people actually use. I value fast feedback loops, clear specs, and measurable results.
3 years Varsity Tennis • 4 Years (2025–26).
FOCUS AREAS
ROBOTICS
Mechanisms, reliability, and closed-loop control — design → build → test with data-driven iteration.
AI
Perception, forecasting, and decision support integrated into real apps and robots.
AUTONOMY
Sensing + feedback + planning for robust behavior under constraints and time pressure.
AEROSPACE
Flight simulation, rocketry CAD, and mission math for safe, stable trajectories.
