Past Projects

FIRST Robotics (2020-2023)

  • I was a part of Montclair Robotics, FIRST Robotics Competition team 555, and served as Robot Project Manager (Head of Engineering) for three years
    • As RPM, each season I led a team of 40 high schoolers to go from concept to finished robot in three months
    • I led robot design and pitched in as needed, CAD-ing, building, and coding, to ensure we had a functional robot completed on time
  • The team improved every year and 2023, my senior year, achieved the best performance since 2005
  • Notably, our team didn’t receive mentor support. All mechanisms, software, and electronics were designed, reviewed, and made by high school students.

Game Development

  • Over the pandemic I taught myself Unity and C# and began making video games to keep up my coding while quarantined
  • The games began simple and grew in complexity building to a massive unfinished 3D RPG
  • I also wrote multiple orchestral pieces for the score of this game
    • The spaceship video in the upper right has one of the songs
