"The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - Alan Kay
I'm a product designer and electrical engineer at Tufts, currently working on humanoid robots in Palo Alto, CA. Previously, I designed quantum circuits at Katmai Computing and AR headsets with Draco Intelligence and Photon.
I work at the intersection of electronic/PCB design, biomedical and assistive technology, robotics, prototyping and industrial design, and emergent tech. I build with sustainability and replicability in mind, and I'm always eager to help enthusiastic engineers and founders build the 'next big thing'.
At Stanford, I contributed to the Biomechatronics Lab's self-steering cane project and designed adjustable manipulator fixtures for Dr. Mark Schnitzer's Lab. I also developed several projects with Tufts' IdeaLAB.
