About
I'm an Electrical & Computer Engineering student at Northeastern, embedding AI systems into autonomous machines: ROS2, CAD design and simulation, fabrication, and embedded models.
I spent my first year abroad at Northeastern University London through the London Scholars Program, and I'm on track for a B.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering in May 2029. Home is Seattle.
Most of my work sits where software meets something physical. Right now that's the Physical AI team at Janicki, where I've been retrofitting a legacy industrial arm into an autonomous, vision-guided system you can talk to in plain English. Before that it was a drone I designed and built across three iterations to film ultimate frisbee, which is still the project that taught me the most.
What I'm interested in
Applying EE to build robots. My focus is the front end of physical AI: the electrical and embedded engineering that makes a machine sense, decide, and move. Power systems and sustainable energy, especially with the surge in data-center and AI-server demand, are a real interest of mine, but they're not the target. What I want to build is the robots themselves.
Autonomous robots and physical AI. The gap between a model that works in simulation and a machine that's trustworthy on a factory floor is where the real engineering lives: calibration, latency, sensor fusion, and knowing which parts of a system are allowed to be probabilistic.
