About Me
Passionate about all things engineering, I am a young engineer interested in realizing tech and robotics’ potential for social good. I am always striving to tackle big problems with ingenuity and transdisciplinary approaches. Most importantly, I am a positive, collaborative, and open-minded individual striving to reach ambitious goals.
Innovator & Developer
From a young age, I tinkered with computers, trying to solve my biggest problems -- intruders (my parents) in my room. In 7th grade, when I received a raspberry pi, I delved into the world of computer engineering. My first project was programming a robot to navigate through the house to deliver drinks to my parents. Since then, I keep looking for larger and larger problems to solve, ranging from designing a robot that can detect microbes to launching a miniature satellite into space, challenging my creativity and problem-solving skills to the fullest.
