As the President of Gold Rush Robotics at UNC Charlotte, I led a student engineering team in building autonomous robots. We innovate critical components and design collection, transportation, and delivery methods for competition elements. Our team achieved 1st place in the IEEE Southeast Conference Hardware Challenge 2022.
During my junior year of university, we were tasked in designing and manufacturing a 3-axis robotic arm to pick and place colored blocks in specific zones. The blocks were to be stacked in a random order where the robot would then read the color of the block and place them in specific areas on a wooden shelf. My team achieved first place with an autonomous time 5x faster than 2nd place at my school.
Every year ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) holds a student competition to complete a specific task. In 2024, the competition was to build a robot that can play mini golf. I led a team at my school to design and build this robot that featured an adjustable power chipper and a hill traversing drivebase.
schooltimer.net is a website I developed in high school and still maintain to this day. It is a website designed to keep students productive letting them know when each of their classes starts and ends. School timer is still in use at my high school and has been used by over 10,000 students.
I competed in VEX Robotics competitions in high school on team 4001E. VEX Robotics is a worldwide robotics organization that lets students compete head to head in 2v2 robotics matches. My team 4001E qualified for the VEX Robotics World Championship in 2020. Unfortunately, it was canceled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. On the team, I was the lead programmer and assisted in anti-tip, intake, and scoring mechanisms.
Victaulic is the global leader in mechanical pipe joining solutions. At the facility I worked at, Victaulic fire sprinklers were assembled.
