LED CUBE.png

LED Cube

This was my final project in my engineering computing class. It's an "LED Cube" I designed, constructed, and programmed from scratch. Don't miss out on the light show!

Telepresence Humanoid Robotic Arm

This is a passion project-turned-senior project/CAPSTONE that is currently in the works. I hope to produce a research paper out of it! The project interfaces an open-source InMoov arm with a modified LucidVR haptic glove to remotely perform tasks via proxy. The actions of the glove wearer are transferred as spatial coordinates to the InMoov arm. The goal is to toss and catch a tennis ball remotely using this method.

Whipper Trebuchet

This was my final project in my intro to engineering class. I designed and constructed from scratch a specialized trebuchet capable of throwing a softball 73 feet! See more details here.

Hydroelectric RC Car

This was for ASME's 2022 Student Design Competition: "HGo". Essentially, the objective of the competition was to deliver as much water as possible in 15 minutes using a vehicle powered solely on the potential energy of water placed inside it. See more here.

Drawing Robot

This was my final project in my robotics class. I modified a HiWonder Xarm 1s claw arm robot into a 2 Degree-of-Freedom SCARA robot and programmed it to draw simple shapes using inverse kinematics. Come see it in action!

About Me

Hi! I’m a mechanical engineer with a passion for building cool things—whether it’s a humanoid robot, a hydroelectric RC car, or a trebuchet that launches softballs! I earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Weber State University in 2023, where I also conducted research on humanoid telepresence robotics and experimental fluid dynamics. I’m especially drawn to hands-on design work and love seeing ideas come to life in SolidWorks and on the shop floor. Outside of engineering, you’ll probably find me on the tennis court, watching a great movie, or planning my next travel adventure. I’m always up for a new challenge that lets me blend creativity with technical problem-solving.
