My Path
12/3/2024
Washington University in St. Louis
Working Towards BS CS + Math | Business
2023 - Present
Being a current student at Washington University in St. Louis has allowed me to explore my branching interests in software development and business.
My current involvement as a Teacher Assistant for Data Structures and Algorithms and Discrete Math has given me the opportunity to benefit my collegues and connect with my community.
WashU has given me a place to struggle, to overcome, and to grow
WU Robotics
Swarm Team | Software Lead | AI and Navigation
2023 - Present
My part in WashU robotics is working on the software portion for controlling a swarm robot. The end goal for these swarm robots are to explore a maze, find rubber balls, and bring them home.
In my first semester, I created a object recognition AI model with Yolov5 and a custom dataset that detects the target rubber balls in a video input feed. The robot will use this model to detect the rubber balls when exploring. The model will also help the robot align itself when capturing and bringing the balls home.
Currently our navigation software team is working on using Active Slam, ROS 2, and Nav2 to get our first robots able to create a localized map, move from point a and b, and maximize its exploration to find the target balls
Boy Scouts
Troop 181 | Eagle Scout
2016 - 2023
My time in Boy Scouts was an enjoyable one and taught me leadership, comradery, and kindness. From spending time with fellow scouts during camp outs to helping create cubbies for Nu'uanu Elementary School, my fellow scouts were there with me.
To achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, I organized a service project to construct six benches for my High School. The project took around four months of planning and two days to construct, paint, and install. This experience gave me real experience in being a leader and a chance to better my community
Freelance Browser Game Developer
Freelancer | Developer
2023
One field I explored was offering my skills through a freelance gig on fiverr. My service consisted of creating a full-stack browser game. As a freelancer I was incharge of selling my services and talking with clients.
The projects I worked on range from real-time multiplayer experiences to platformer games. Some of my favorite tools I used were p5.js, node.js, and socket.io.
Once college started, I decided to move on and commit my time to focusing on school. My gig allowed me to earn over $1000, and I used that money to help pay for school
Learning to Code and Build
2019 - Present
My journey in coding started during the year the covid-19 pandemic put the world into lockdown. Instead of just playing video games all day, I decided why not try and create my own. I then installed the game engine Unity, followed a couple of tutorials, and from there I followed a couple of tutorials and fell in love with coding. I began following online lectures, building side projects, and more. It was fascinating figuring out and learning new coding tools from Networking, Web Development, Training AI models, and more!
Learning new exciting tools and focusing on growing as a person has became, and still is, a fundemental core of my character, and my mindset to this day.
