01/Featured work
The systems I'm proudest of — hardware, numerics, machine learning, and product, each with a number to show for it.
02/About
I'm a Computer Engineering student at Virginia Tech (Honors College), concentrating in Controls, Robotics & Autonomy with a Machine Learning focus and a Computer Science minor.
I like building at the seam between hardware and software — an autonomous 3D print farm that calibrates itself with computer vision, a PCA pipeline rewritten in C to run on a microcontroller, an AI notes app whose entire job queue lives inside Postgres. Most recently I spent a summer at Micron building a change-point monitoring system that's now deployed globally across their fabs.
Along the way I've picked up a peer-reviewed publication, pitched research to Nestlé, and taught 350+ students how to code and build robots.
I'm working hard to ensure the machines rise with us, not against us.

04/All projects
Autonomous 3D print farm
A fully custom, fully autonomous multi-printer 3D manufacturing workcell — dual printers, plate swapping, storage automation, and a continuous print queue.
AI-powered notes that organize themselves
A full-stack AI notes app that auto-categorizes entries by meaning using vector embeddings, an LLM tie-breaker, and a self-improving learning loop.
Vision-based autonomous rover, sim-to-real
An autonomous rover that navigates to a target using only an overhead camera — a Double DQN trained in simulation and transferred to physical hardware via a custom computer-vision perception pipeline.
Embedded device authentication, from-scratch numerics in C
A C-native PCA pipeline that fingerprints devices from frequency-sweep data and runs standalone on Arduino Q — including a custom Jacobi eigensolver.
Milk adulteration detection under UV microscopy
A low-cost device that quantitatively measures urea adulteration in milk — UV microscopy plus OpenCV image processing, down to a 0.018% average error rate.
Solar-powered fire-detection system
A solar-powered wireless sensor node for early fire monitoring — power electronics, embedded systems, and IoT in one build. Best in Course.
Vital health checkups for rural India
A real-time vitals-monitoring cubicle built to bring accessible health checkups to rural India. CodeHack winner.
05/Research
Peer-reviewed publication
International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology (IJISRT)
Volume 9, Issue 8 · Published September 13, 2024 · IJISRT24AUG1182
A novel UV-microscopic-imaging method for quantitative detection of urea adulteration in milk — the research behind MADS.
Industry collaboration
Moga, India · January 6, 2023
Pitched the urea-detection system with a live demonstration to Nestlé QA leadership, including the South Asia Region-Head of Quality Assurance. Nestlé cited its cost-effectiveness, quantitative detection, and sustainability, issued a commendation letter from Corporate Affairs, and requested follow-on research on classifying and counting sugar crystals in condensed milk.
Independent research
From-scratch PCA in C · custom Jacobi eigensolver · Arduino Q
A C-native principal-component-analysis pipeline that fingerprints devices from frequency-sweep data and runs standalone on embedded hardware — no tethered PC, and 4–5× faster than the original Python flow.
