01 — About

A brief introduction.

Background

I am a Mechanical Engineering student at Irvine Valley College preparing to transfer in Fall 2026, with a focus on robotics and systems integration. Through independent robotics projects, I have been developing experience across the full engineering stack—from mechanical design and fabrication to controls and system implementation. My goal is to become a robotics engineer capable of bridging these domains while also contributing to the development and leadership of teams that bring complex robotic systems into real-world applications.

Right now I'm most interested in the problems that sit at the boundary between mechanism design and control — how geometry shapes behavior, and how to build systems that stay predictable under real-world conditions. Most of my projects start with a question I can't answer from first principles alone, which is usually a sign it's worth building.
