Analyzed satellite market to identify gaps, generated product concepts from research, to produce a novel satellite architecture designCreated an orbital simulator with EGM gravity for analyzing orbits, and determining key metrics (eclipse time, return time)Performed thermal analysis in TD & guided mechanical FEA on preliminary model to validate environment and launch survival

Researching and developing a novel3D foundational model for use in robotic planning, mapping, and more through the CSAIL Learning and Intelligent Systems lab at MIT.Work includes reviewing existing literature and codebases, writing RGB-D dataset generation scripts, and creating new models.

Director of MIT's New Vassar residence's Makerspace. With a budget of roughly $20,000, I completely oversee the furnishing, operation, and maintenance of the Makerspace. This includes managing spreadsheets keeping track of purchases, maintaining 3D-printers, ensuring broken or lost tools get replaced, etc. I run trainings for students before granting access to the space and tools. I work with the wider MIT facilities community in organizing how funds are spent and, occasionally, in acquiring… Show more Director of MIT's New Vassar residence's Makerspace.

Founded Thin Blue Lie, a website and database to track publicly sourced police misconduct data. Through it I have become skilled at MySql, C# (.Net 5), Blazor, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Python, Linux, Data Structures, Visual Studio, VPS's, Microsoft's Identity platform, and more.

Worked on preliminary aircraft design. Moved to specialize in CAD and Afterburner Research. For CFD research on "Optimization of a Small-Scale Convergent Nozzle in COTS Turbojet Engine", received the Naval Science Award from the U.S Navy and Marine Corps’ Office of Naval Research.

Drop Bear Robotics is a robotics team formed to compete in United Launch Alliance's Student Rocket Launch Competition. Our robotic systems are launched to 5,000ft, ejected from the rocket, and then tasked to complete an objective such as reaching a target or drilling and analyzing soil. I lead or assist the team in CAD design, component selection, electrical design, and programming.

Member of Boulder High School's FIRST robotics team for 4 years and an officer for two. I lead the mechanical portion of the team meaning that I made both CAD models and physical components of the robots. I also helped train incoming freshman.

Tutored students ranging in age from 1st through to 11th grade in reading and mathematics.

Sponsored by Tuskegee Institute of America to participate in three week flight training program in Memphis. Hosted by the United States Air Force and the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals, I learned alongside college student cadets from military officers and pilots. At the end of the three weeks I soloed a Cessna 172.
