Who I am

Research Assistant.
Builder.

I graduated with my B.S. in Electrical Engineering Technology from SUNY Polytechnic in December 2025. I'm now a research assistant there, working in the nanotechnology lab alongside postdoctoral researchers.

Outside the research lab I build automation systems and embedded projects, mostly things that have a physical result at the end.
