I build the robots and systemsthat have to work reliably —in the field, not just the lab.

I'm a Computer Engineering student at Villanova University (GPA 3.97) with minors in Mechatronics, Computer Science, and Engineering Entrepreneurship. My technical focus spans software engineering, artificial intelligence, and mechanical design, driven by a passion for seamlessly integrating Machine Learning and AI with robotics for autonomous, real-world change.

With extensive experience managing cross-functional engineering teams, budgets, and full product lifecycles, I drive projects from ideation and iterative CAD design through programming, training, and deployment. As President of Villanova Robotics and Co-President & Chassis Lead for Baja SAE, I direct over 70 students in building combat robots and off-road racing vehicles that reliably perform under extreme constraints, not just in simulation.
