I have a passion for taking complicated projects and owning them from start to finish. Whether it be a complicated fully autonomous chess robot, or a liquid-fueled rocket engine, or creating a controller for an open-loop unstable system.
Below are some examples of projects that I've worked on. Check out the Projects tab for more info!
Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
GPA 4.0/4.0

Rocket engines and design validation
MSME Capstone, "The Design, Fabrication, Control, and Validation of a 4-DOF Chess-Playing Robotic Manipulator".
Capable of playing a full 105+ move game against a human opponent.
Designed completely from scratch, from the cycloidal gearboxes, to the belt-pulley system, firmware, GUI, computer vision, and two-phase closed cloop control for each joint.
240N modular rocket engine. Designed, manufactured, and tested the chamber, injector geometry, and nozzle.
Validated geometry using NASA CEA and
Two position controllers: lead compensator and a full order digital state-space with observer and integral loops. Working against an open-loop unstable actuator with strict positional and speed requirements.
Mathematically derived PID and State-State controller for balancing. Full design and manufacturing completed end to end. Remote control for wireless driving.
