<p class="pageTitle">About Me</p>
<p class="pageText" style="text-align:left;">I am a Mechanical Engineer with primary interest in robotics, embedded systems, and software development. The majority of my work and project experience has involved combining software and hardware for developing robotic platforms along with developing software for various applications. I also have experience with full-cycle design, integration, and testing of robotic platforms. I have taken multiple leadership roles in teams ranging from 4 to 100 student and professional members, and have additional experience with project management, product development, sponsorship, and website development.</p>
<p class="pageText" style="text-align:left;">I have completed my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University in June 2018.</p>
<p class="pageText" style="text-align:left;">This website provides an overview of various work experiences, projects, and related activities that I have done since the start of my Bachelor's program.</p>

current, or future civil engineering problem. The submission was in the form of a paper,
which is then presented at the regional competition. I placed 2nd at this competition</p>

<p class="mediumText">As a part of my freshman design project, I worked with a team of 3 other
students to develop a 2 DOF room mapping mobile robot. We 3D printed the chasis that allowed
for the 4 IR, ultrasonic, and accelerometer sensors along with 2 motors, an Arduino Uno, a
servo, and a PCB to fit on an 8"x5" base that was able to gather distance data and maneuver
around a room.</p>

<p class="mediumText">The Drexel chapter for IEEE held their first hackathon in 2013 as a way
to introduce local students to embedded systems with the goal of creating a larger interest
in this field. I competed with a team of 3 other freshman where we learned basic programming
and how to work with an Arduino Uno and sensors.</p>
