About Me

I'm a mechanical engineer with a specialized focus in robotics and control systems. With a Master's degree from the University of Colorado Boulder and a Bachelor's from Auburn University with a minor in Computer Science, I've developed a unique blend of mechanical engineering fundamentals, software development skills, and robotics experience. Typically, I like to sit right at the intersection between software and mechanical systems.

My academic journey has equipped me with expertise in both the theoretical understanding of control systems and practical implementation through robotic platforms. I'm particularly interested in the development of intelligent control systems for autonomous robots, leveraging modern techniques in reinforcement learning and optimal control. Furthermore, I would like to use my skillset in a fast paced environment to contribute to a larger mission centered around robotics or autonomy.

Throughout my career, I've worked on projects ranging from basic mechanical design to complex robotic systems with advanced perception and control capabilities. I thrive in interdisciplinary environments where mechanical engineering principles intersect with computer science and electrical engineering. My history working in the hardware-in-the-loop environment has given me a unique perspective on the process of combining software and hardware into a single cohesive system.
