Things I've Built
Orbit – Modular Productivity Console
Modular productivity console for focused computer workflows.
- Senior design capstone project: a modular desktop console combining product design, electrical engineering, and embedded systems.
- Physical controls such as a dial, macro keys, and displays make focused computer workflows faster and more intentional.
- I worked across CAD, PCB design and assembly, embedded control, and interaction design.
6-DOF Robotic Arm
Self-directed robotics build for controls, motion, and mechanical systems.
- Built, assembled, and integrated a 6-degree-of-freedom robotic arm as a self-directed project, based on an existing open mechanical design.
- Sourced hundreds of components and worked through real 3D printing and mechanical assembly constraints.
- Connected CAD, electronics, controls, and debugging into one working system, learning how open-loop and closed-loop motion differ in practice.
FSAE Telemetry System
Race car data platform for driver feedback and engineering decisions.
- Initiated and led early development of the telemetry system for the Minutemen Racing Formula SAE car.
- Built a system that captures key signals from the car and turns them into driver insights and engineering feedback.
- Worked cross-functionally with mechanical and powertrain teammates to package sensors and make the data useful for real decisions.
Micro Weather Station
Compact environmental sensing system that estimates near-future weather conditions.
Apollo DSKY Replica
A replica of the Apollo Guidance Computer's DSKY interface.
NFC PCB Business Card
A PCB business card with NFC and LEDs, a small hardware identity project.
Experience
Across hardware, software, research, and campus operations, the roles where I've turned ambiguous technical problems into working systems.
IT Operations Intern
Residence Hall Security, UMass Police Department
- Support overnight security operations across UMass residence halls, owning day-to-day technical issues.
- Troubleshoot scanner hardware, staff laptops, and UMass network connectivity.
- Debug issues inside the internal security portal used by supervisors and managers.
- Built a locally run operations dashboard consolidating staffing, shift information, and daily data points.
- Reduced paperwork friction for supervisors, HR, and managers coordinating nightly operations.
AI Hardware Researcher
Advanced Verification Systems Lab, UMass Amherst
- Build anomaly detection pipelines for ocean-imaging research using SAR imagery.
- Focus on preprocessing, feature extraction, and algorithm development for sparse visual anomalies.
- Work across hardware-oriented research questions, data analysis, and software prototyping.
- Operate in ambiguous problem spaces where the signal is difficult to isolate.
Engineering Captain
2023 – 2025Minutemen Racing — Formula SAE
- Helped lead the team's shift toward a data-driven race car by initiating the FSAE telemetry system.
- Built a system that collects performance data and supports driver feedback and engineering decisions.
- Worked with chassis, aero, suspension, and powertrain subteams to package sensors and co-design mounts.
- Collaborated with the powertrain team on ECU tuning decisions for an older motorcycle engine.
Undergraduate Researcher
2D Bioelectronics Lab, UMass Amherst
- Characterized graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) for bioelectronics research under faculty guidance.
- Contributed to a co-authored publication in Cell Press Devices.
- Used a source measure unit for SMU and four-wire characterization of GFET behavior.
- Studied how gold-plated electrode pads affect long-term electrical performance for biointerfaces.
- Documented lab procedures and wrote SOPs and technical documentation for repeatable workflows.
About Me
I'm an electrical & computer engineering student at UMass Amherst who thinks like a product designer. My work runs wide on purpose — race-car electronics, SAR imaging research, and modular hardware tools. Different niches, same habit: I care about the whole object — how it's architected, how it's made, and how it feels to use.
