Problem solving with focused determination and the work ethic to power through the toughest assignments, I seek to do any job that is given to me with the necessary drive to do it right.

WORK EXPERIENCE

​

Undergraduate Researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Cambridge, MA
Spring 2024

 

Prototyped a system that could track thrown track and field implements to estimate distance based on velocity. Designed a modular mounting system for sensors that could also be used for other types of data collection such as gait speed and balance. This allows athletes to better track progress and gain valuable feedback when throwing into a net at an indoor training facility.

​

Next Level Coding Club Founder & Volunteer Instructor at Summit Academy

Louisville, KY

Oct. 2021 - May 2023

​​​

Founded a club at my middle school using my programming knowledge to give back to my community and provide an opportunity for students to create and explore larger scale projects. Utilized MIT's Scratch programming language to teach fifth to twelfth graders programming basics through guided project lessons and unguided creative creation.

​

Architecture Construction Engineering (ACE) Mentor Club at Trinity High School
Louisville, KY

Sept. 2021 - May 2023

​​

MEP team lead for two laboratory renovation projects – chemistry and physics labs. Created 3D mockups, consulted with the client (Trinity teachers), and oversaw creation of new laboratory designs that better met the needs of the modern classroom. Presented project proposals that were successfully implemented and constructed on time.

PROJECTS​​

​​​​​​

Automatic Tape Reel Project

Floyds Knobs, IN

Summer 2024

​​

Designed a system to help run track meets quicker by increasing the speed at which distances could be measured. This was accomplished by making a mounting system to attach a motor to automatically reel up 200-foot tape reels commonly used in track and field.

​

Virtual Mass Driver Project
Floyds Knobs, IN and Cambridge, MA
Spring 2022 to Present

​

Created a mass driver system in a virtual combat vehicle simulator that has engagement ranges far beyond other weapon systems in said environment. Designed a novel implementation of this system. Used Excel and MATLAB to help design a control system that accounts for projectile drag to increase accuracy.

​

Trebuchet Design Build Project
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology - Terre Haute, IN
July 2021

​

Designed a floating arm trebuchet that threw tennis balls over 120ft repeatedly and consistently. Coordinated with two other students and Rose-Hulman Mechanical Engineering professors to create the design from scratch while working in space constraints.
