ABOUT ME

I am an electrical engineering student at NYU with a 3.96 GPA, specializing in autonomous systems and mechanical design. I have led development of drone systems for wildfire detection, designed rocket staging mechanisms, and gained experience in power grid operations. My expertise spans CAD design, programming, robotics, and system integration, with successful competition results and practical industry experience in both engineering and tutoring roles.
