Hello my name is

Resume Portfolio

I'm a second-year Mechanical Engineering student at Georgia Tech. My interests lie in robotics, engineering, and rapid prototyping. Reach out if you're working on something in this space.

What I'm doing now:

Updated October 2026

Building a four-wheel differential swerve robot. I pick the speed drone back up for GPS autonomy when I have time.

Projects

SolidWorks render of the speed drone
Personal Project CFD 325 km/h GPS peak

Quadcopter Speed Drone

A 3D-printed quadcopter built for top speed from stock 5" parts, with GPS onboard for future autonomous flight. I designed the airframe in SolidWorks around the electronics and camera, then simulated airflow in OpenFOAM from −4° to 13° and 10 to 100 m/s to compare four fuselage shapes. I soldered all the electronics and tuned it in ArduPilot.

  • 325 km/h GPS peak on the third flight, unverified (172 km/h on the maiden, at 48% throttle)
  • 880 g printed in PLA
  • Peak L/D of 9.1 at 5°, and passively pitch-stable

Light building

Lamps I print on the A1 between the bigger projects. The mini lamp is modelled in Fusion as a base, clicker and shade.
