Hello, and welcome to my "How to Make (Almost) Anything" (6.9020) website! I'm a third-year undergraduate studying computer science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering at MIT. And when I'm not studying, you'll find me jamming at the piano, following some recipe, or working on the projects outlined below!
