Resume Portfolio
Robotics, spatial computing, software engineering, and econometrics.
I build across hardware, immersive systems, product software, and quantitative analysis. The common thread is disciplined execution, clear communication, and a strong instinct for how systems should perform in the real world.
Snapshot
Cross-disciplinary work, backed by measurable outcomes.
From rebuilding technical communities and managing lab operations to prototyping robotics and analyzing large datasets, the work is grounded in execution, iteration, and real responsibility.
Raised to expand access to VR, 3D printing, and programming.
Students onboarded to hands-on STEAM work and immersive tools.
Traffic-stop records analyzed through large-scale data exploration.
Lab assistants supervised in live technical operations.
Selected Projects
Five chapters of the same practice.
The work spans robotics, fabrication, immersive systems, product software, and analysis, with each project shaped by a balance of technical depth and design clarity.
Robotics
Custom robotic systems built for function, iteration, and live demo.
I prototype robotic assemblies that move cleanly from concept to physical testing. Recent work includes custom SO101 and ZBot modifications, printed arms, hand adapters, and parts designed around durability, range of motion, and presentation.
The goal is not just to make a part fit. It is to understand the system, improve the experience of using it, and deliver a build that feels resolved in both form and function.
- Designed and printed custom arms, adapters, and end effectors for robotic platforms.
- Balanced aesthetics, manufacturability, and joint behavior while iterating on hardware.
- Presented custom builds in public showcase environments, including CES.
3D Design
Physical products shaped through CAD, rapid prototyping, and iteration.
My fabrication work sits between engineering and product design. I build parts that solve a clear constraint, feel intentional in the hand, and can be refined quickly through printing and testing.
That process has produced custom power systems, phone accessories, robotic components, and precision-fit hardware that treat function and form as part of the same decision.
- Built custom consumer accessories with stronger fit, identity, and usability.
- Developed functional enclosures and printed components for power and robotics use cases.
- Used fabrication as a fast decision-making tool, not just a production step.
AR / VR
Immersive systems designed to make interaction and learning feel immediate.
I build spatial experiences that turn abstract ideas into something people can navigate, test, and remember. My VR work sits at the intersection of interaction design, real-time 3D, and education.
That same interest shaped my leadership of Knox's STEAM Club, where I secured funding, expanded access to VR and 3D printing, and helped more students get hands-on with emerging tools.
- Built interactive experiences in Unity with a focus on clarity and engagement.
- Raised $20,000 to rebuild access to VR, 3D printing, and programming tools.
- Onboarded more than 110 students into hands-on STEAM work.

Students brought into immersive, fabrication, and programming projects.
Software
Product-minded software built for clarity, iteration, and real users.
My software work spans full-stack development, educational games, and interface-driven product delivery. I care about architecture, but I also care about usability, iteration speed, and whether the experience reads clearly to non-technical users.
Projects include an NLP-powered news platform, a Unity educational game, and a mobile web revamp delivered through user stories, wireframes, testing, and cross-functional coordination.
- Built That's The News to aggregate articles and generate topic-based summaries.
- Served as Scrum Master and developer on Brain Racer, shipping three feedback-driven iterations.
- Led RoomDaddy's mobile web revamp through user stories, wireframes, testing, and partner coordination.
That's The News
NLP-powered news aggregation
Vue.js, MongoDB, and Docker used to summarize articles and surface multiple perspectives.
Brain Racer
Educational game in Unity
Unity and C# project with three iterations and more than 100 UI assets and animations.
RoomDaddy
Mobile web product revamp
Cross-functional product work covering user stories, high-resolution wireframes, and beta testing.
Econometrics
Quantitative analysis grounded in research, interpretation, and communication.
With formal training in Computer Science and Econometrics, I use analysis to surface patterns, test assumptions, and support better decisions. I care as much about the quality of interpretation as the mechanics of the script or model.
That has included large-scale policing data analysis, research synthesis on privacy attitudes, and conversion analysis on commercial web funnels.
- Analyzed Stanford Open Policing data covering more than one million traffic stops.
- Reviewed 45 research papers for a privacy attitudes project and presented findings to faculty and students.
- Studied conversion behavior and drop-off points in commercial web funnels, then proposed improvements.
