Experience
About Me
I'm a high school student enrolled in the Arlington Tech program at Arlington Career Center. The program also allows students to pursue an Associate's degree while in high school. A fact that I'm taking advantage of to get a degree in computer science. I've always been interested in programming and recently my interest has began to focus on lower level programming and firmware developemnt. Bellow are some of the things I've done related to my interests. I also have a number of personal projects displayed on this website.
Robotics Team | Team Cocaptain | September 2022 - Present
I'm the proud captain of Team 8230, The KoiBots, a FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team. I've always been interested in programming and robotics, so when medical comlications prevented me from playing normal sports I joined the robotics team. Since then, I've dedicated myself to this incredible field, not just as a participant, but also as a leader. This past season, I had the privilege of serving as Team 8230's captain. It was an exhilarating experience that involved motivating my fellow KoiBots, fostering collaboration, and strategizing for success. Prior to that, I honed my technical skills as the team's programming lead, spearheading the development of our robot's autonomous and driver-controlled functionalities. Through these experiences, I've gained invaluable leadership qualities, such as effective communication, delegation, and problem-solving under pressure. Furthermore, my programming expertise encompasses designing control systems to control linear systems and managing complex robot state. I'm eager to leverage these skills and continue making a positive impact in the world of robotics.
NASA App Development Challenge | September 2023 - May 2024
I joined my schools NASA App Development Team to further my skills developing data visualization apps. We were tasked with building an app to effectivly simulate an Artemis mission to the south pole of the moon. NASA provided topographic data that we then visualized, charted a path on the terrain, and calculated optimal points for communication relays along that path. Our project did not win NASA's competition, but the team presented our project at PyCon 2024 in Pittsburg.
