About

I am currently a senior student at the Pennsylvania State University, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering. I first started programming during sophomore year in High School, coding 2D games with the Lua programming language, and haven't stopped since then. After I learned Python and started using Arduino to build some projects, I was sure that I wanted to pursue this area of study. Additionally, music is one of my passions and I play acoustic guitar in my free time. You can check some of the projects I've worked on, my resume and my contact information on this website.

Fire-Fighting Robot

I participated in the Fire-Fighting Robot contest for the ShepRobo Fest during my freshmen year at Penn State. We had to build an autonomous robot that could go through a maze which represented the model of a house, and extinguish a randomly positioned lit candle.

Uniform and Accelerated Motion Analysis Project

In this project, me and my group built a system that could calculate the velocity and acceleration of a moving object, and with the data collected, create the graphic of the position vs time, velocity vs time and acceleration vs time of that exact movement. We used Arduino and Python.

Song Repertoire Manager

This was a personal project that I did with Python to help me manage the songs I play on the guitar. It is a GUI that lists all the songs I know and shows the tabs of any of them. I can sort them by artist or song title.
