/ SELECTED PROJECTS

Stair-Climbing Robot

COMPLETE

Six-person ME213 team project, placing 1st in my Fall 2025 section. I contributed control software, receiver integration, electronics layout and mounting, and fabrication assistance.

/ ADDITIONAL / EARLIER WORK

Planar Quadrotor Simulator

SHELVED

A C++ planar dynamics simulator with a six-state model, rotor-thrust inputs, fixed-step RK4 integration, and OpenGL / ImGui visualization. Controls and estimation were not implemented.

/ MECHANICAL DESIGN + FABRICATION

Custom Keyboard Enclosure

ONGOING

I designed the complete enclosure around KiCad-derived PCB and switch-plate geometry, then iterated through multiple physical 3D prints. Development is ongoing.

Enclosure assembly from my CAD export, including top, base, switch plate, and PCB reference geometry. Active iteration; display colors are illustrative.

Robot Electronics Mounting / Packaging

COMPLETE

Electronics layout, mounting plate, and integration within our six-person team's stair-climbing robot. Most overall mechanical design and CAD were owned by teammates.

/ ABOUT

I'm a Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science student at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. I enjoy hands-on building and working through problems with other people. On teams, I often work across software, electronics, and integration.

Outside engineering, I follow motorsport and enjoy vehicles, snowboarding, hiking, video games, and time with friends. My first car was a 2010 BMW E60; its graphite-and-orange dashboard inspired this site.
