Experience
V1 Product Studio
- Engineered a bio-inspired modular hexapod platform utilizing an embedded Raspberry Pi 4 "brain" and Servo 2040 "nervous system" to orchestrate high-torque PWM signal processing across 18 MG996R servos
- Developed custom Inverse Kinematics and spatial gait algorithms in Python/MicroPython to translate Cartesian coordinates into joint angles, achieving fluid locomotion and achieving 98% positioning accuracy during complex 6-DOF maneuvers
- Architected a robust Finite State Machine to manage autonomous gait cycles and state transitions, utilizing Serial (UART) communication to bridge high-level logic with low-level actuator control, reducing state-transition jitter by 95%
- Designed Human-Machine Interface by integrating a PS4 controller via Python libraries, enabling real-time teleoperation
- Optimized system performance to achieve a command-to-actuation latency of under 30ms, ensuring stable operation and reactive positioning while traversing variable terrain and 30° inclines and traversing vertical obstacles up to 20 cm in height
- Conceptualized a modular payload system using CAD for interchangeable end-effectors, including LiDAR pods and tactile limit-switches, expanding operational utility across 12+ simulated use cases to maximize hardware versatility
Buckeye Vertical
- Engineered and integrated an autonomous drone system achieving 6th place worldwide at the SUAS competition, specializing in precision payload delivery and real time aerial object detection over a 3 mile flight course
- Utilized SolidWorks and Onshape to create drone components and optimize battery location for ideal center of mass
- Manufactured various drone parts using 3D printing including fabricating a fiberglass hood and camera stabilizer
- Developed and deployed YOLOv8 computer vision models on an NVIDIA Jetson Nano, enabling real time target tracking at 8 FPS with 85% average detection accuracy under variable lighting and altitude conditions
- Programmed autonomous flight behaviors using ROS 2 for adaptive mission planning, path optimization (completed laps in 4 minutes), and payload interaction, reducing navigation error by 30% across dynamic course environments
- Configured and tuned Pixhawk 4 parameters via QGroundControl, synchronizing payload servos and optimizing propeller thrust profiles, resulting in a 10% improvement in lift efficiency and smoother motor transitions
Being Digital
- Capture, edit, and produce high-quality photography and videography for over 50 client projects
- Created multiple promotional videos for various clubs and organizations including Buckeye Vertical
- Leveraged professional media to develop marketing which elevated brand visibility
- Design and deliver media albums tailored to client specifications

Video Projects
3 projectsA short video I put together from my time on the team highlighting our building and competition. The experience was incredible and was one of my most notable trips.
A longer form video documenting the 4 day overnight summer camp hosted at my local temple. Truly one of the most fun times in my life.
My first time tackling a longer form video project. This was a fun experience and I learned a lot about storytelling and pacing.
