NASA Experience
Mechanical design, integration, inspection & testing at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Space Blanket
Closed-system thermodynamic modeling and experimental validation of thermal blanket insulation. JWST sunshield samples provided by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
SolarSURFER
Design work focused on structure, deployables, and systems integration for a solar-sailing CubeSat
Disc Cleaner
Automated mechatronics system for cleaning disc golf discs
MIT Lincoln Lab
Summer internship in Division 9 (Space), Group 92 — Advanced Sensors and Techniques, at the Westford field site.
Mars to Table
Evenings during my Lincoln Laboratory internship, working systems engineering for a ~40-person NASA challenge on feeding a Mars mission.
Canary
Real-time low-cost environmental gas detection and hazard mapping for mining safety.
Gait AI
An AI-powered smart insole that detects foot pressure in real time and flags form issues before they cause injury.
ReFrame
Embedded software and mechanical design for the ReFrame buildathon project
Scent-o-Matic
IAP Hackathon build: automated XY gantry and pipette system for custom perfume mixing. 6,748 possible scent combinations.
FlowState
Turning raw mobile-LiDAR street scans into a browser-viewable 3D model and a flood-simulation input, end to end.
Delayed Propagation
Pricing the ripple effects of a temporary flight restriction, flight by flight, in real dollars.
DroneGym
An RL training gym for autonomous FPV drones, built in one night — configure any airframe, train a policy on camera-only observations, then fly it.
Otli
Your surroundings, explained. A camera + projector device that interprets a scene with CV and projects physics guidance directly onto real objects — from pool shots to your workbench.
Wheat Drone
Text your drone to survey wheat, spot crop issues, and get field insights back on your phone — iMessage → Photon bridge → Tello drone, with NOAA/NASA weather cross-checks.
Red Ledger
2nd Place, CRS Track — a live fraud agent attacks an AI accounts-payable clerk while a controller gates every payment at the ledger, scored in dollars on both sides.
Line-Sensing Robot
Arduino line-follower with four IR reflectance sensors, motor shield, and live serial tuning
DIY 3D Scanner
Low-cost, two-axis IR distance scanner: Arduino, servos, and MATLAB visualization
Grip Dynamometer
Instrumentation, circuit design, calibration, and data analysis for a grip-force tester
SafeRoute
Dynamic Evacuation Guidance System for Complex Facilities — MIT Lincoln Laboratory I3C (Intern Innovative Idea Challenge)
Canyon Endurace
Three months sourcing parts, one frameset, and a lot of YouTube rabbit holes.
