One person, whole machine: I design, machine, code, and operate complete robotic systems. Three years engineering a 30-servo humanoid in an HRI lab, a 6-DoF cinema arm built solo for under $2,500, and the camera practice that makes the operator's side worth designing.
Honors capstone: a 6-DoF robotic cinema arm designed, machined, coded, and filmed solo. Harmonic drives on shoulder and elbow, a capstan differential wrist, and Moteus over CAN-FD closing the loop in under 2 ms.
A 30+ servo 3D-printed humanoid built over three years in an HRI lab, teleoperated through MediaPipe hand tracking at 30+ fps. Deployed across 250+ study participants and 7,800+ minutes of testing.
Browser-based drone mission planner for Gaussian splat capture. Draw a polygon on a map and it plans a convergent multi-angle flight, checks the path against Google's 3D mesh, scores what the camera will actually see, and exports a flyable Litchi mission.
Browser renderer that reads Gaussian splat scans as glyphs, hatch, and flow-placed marks. Lens and depth of field are drawn as marks rather than blur.
I write the software, machine the parts, and run the camera.
I'm a robotics engineer with a B.S. in Visual Communications and a CS minor from Syracuse University's Renée Crown Honors program. I build the embedded control, the mechanical assemblies, and the operator-facing software that let people outside engineering drive complex machines.
My honors capstone was CineWave, a 6-DoF cinema motion-control arm: designed, machined, coded, and filmed solo for under $2,500. Before that, three years in an HRI lab engineering a 30-servo humanoid that 250+ study participants teleoperated. I'd rather ship one well-engineered tool than ten quick demos.
When I'm not trapped in the lab, I take incredibly long hikes by myself with a good audiobook or music playlist.
Always happy to nerd out on all things robots, AI, and cinema. Niche musical genres too, I can talk all day about those.
