Sheet 03 · About

serious about making.
sometimes about making sense.

I study mechanical engineering with a bias toward robotics, fabrication, and the middleground where an idea becomes a working prototype. I love building things that are at the intersection of engineering, art, and functionality.

That means balancing logic and creativity, and a build might move from rough sketches to CAD, through the 3D printer and machine shop, into electronics and controls, and back into revision after a design review. I care as much about how something feels to use as whether it holds under loads.

I’ve worked across project-based engineering education, robotics competition teams, and rapid prototyping for public builds. Whether it’s a Mars rover, an exhibit, or a workshop course, I’m happiest when a design has to be real, testable, and human-centered.
