About

I am a Rising Senior at MIT, studying EECS with a minor in Physics. I have extensive experience in digital fabrication techniques. I love working on projects and making things. I have robust experience in CAD, having made many 3D printed parts and working with complex geometries.

Engineer & Researcher

Making stuff is my passion and my hobby. I enjoy both the hours of debugging and the painstaking construction. I love every second from conception to delivery.

MIT's combined EECS program along with its fast-paced, learn-by-doing approach to teaching meant that I was exposed to both the principles of software construction, and solid state circuits. I like writing code. But I find greater joy in picking up a new IC, diving into its data sheet, and creating modules to interface with it; the feeling that you can make almost anything, as you bring more ICs and peripherals together, is satisfying. Science and math are a part of my character, they give me a deep-seeded respect for all the knowledge reality has to offer.
