I design and build physical systems — printers that solidify resin with computed light, robots that swim like eels, bacteria that generate electricity. Rising senior at Geffen Academy at UCLA.

Background

I'm a rising senior at Geffen Academy at UCLA (4.09 W / 3.80 UW). I've been taking UCLA courses since sophomore year — Math 31A, MECH&AE 94, Math 32A this summer — and I intern at Team Tech Guru Inc. building production software and functional 3D prints.

For senior year I'm doing Advanced Research. I also run the Robotics Club, teaching ESP32 programming and CAD.
