Experience
Labs, startups, and internships I've worked in.
Roles
Building a scalable tactile sensing system, using compressive sensing to read a large tactile array with far fewer measurements than sensors. I'm building a two-finger tactile gripper for the lab's robot arm to collect demonstrations and train manipulation policies. See the gripper →
Built a non-invasive teleoperation retrofit for a reach truck in Mexico City, driven from Massachusetts: a custom safety-first control PCB, multi-camera low-latency WebRTC video, and the ROS 2 stack on the truck. See the project →
Built "Big Crane," a soft-robotics crane that combines pneumatic vine robots, brushless motors, and dual-camera vision for autonomous load-and-move cycles. See Big Crane and its video →
Wrote Excel VBA automation for supplier chargebacks that recovered over $50k in annual revenue.
Put calibrated air-quality sensors on drones for campus-wide monitoring and built R models and maps of environmental stressors across Connecticut.
Built a CRM connecting Monday, Square, and Twilio with Zapier automations for payments, invoicing, and mass messaging, and set up the shop's online stores. Increased revenue 30% and cut overhead 70%.
Pitched an AI-driven water-conservation proposal to a panel of business leaders; it was approved for the next phase.
Activities & Awards
I'm VP of Big Events for SAAS at MIT and Risk Manager for Phi Delta Theta. Before MIT, I volunteered as a technology assistant at the New Britain Public Library and tutored SAT math and reading on Schoolhouse.world. I was a National Finalist in the ACS Chemistry Olympiad and Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, and won 1st place at the CCSU Engineering Design Competition.
