About Me:

I am a high school student at The Academy for Mathematics, Sciences and Engineering, and I am extremely interested in robotics/mechatronics, aerospace, and assistive technologies. I am currently seeking an internship in one of these fields, and I would be honored to play any role in a lab.

Most of my projects are either for pure interest or for learning a new skill/machine - and I love to involve math and programming in any mechanical project I make.

Work I'm Currently Involved In:

RESEARCH

TUBAA AEROACOUSTICS

Investigating the aeroacoustics of unconventional propeller designs! My involvement in this project: creator, lead-author.

OPEN-SOURCE HARDWARE

VERSO ROBOTICS

Creating an open-source 6DOF robotic arm platform! My involvement in this project: co-founder.

While I have enough experience with web design to create this website, my main skills include:

Engineering + Robotics:
- Electronics (working with arduino + other microntrollers)
- FIRST Robotics (FTC)
- Actuators + motor controllers (see my projects page)
Programming:
- Java
- C# (& Unity)
- Web Design (JS, etc.)
- Learning: Python, C++, more! - generally for the purposes of engineering but I am really interested in algorithms and problem solving in general!
CAD/CAM:
- Fusion 360
- Onshape
- Illustrator, AutoCAD, etc.
Design (I am really passionate about filmaking!):
- Adobe Suite
  - Premiere Pro
  - Photoshop
  - Illustrator
- DaVinci Resolve (limited - for color)
Learning:
- Kinematics/Inverse Kinematics
- ROS, VIAM
- Embedded Systems & creating development boards
- MATLAB - eventually...
