About Me

Computer Engineering student at Wentworth Institute of Technology, graduating December 2026.

Currently leading electrical systems for SAE Baja Leopard Racing WIT and founder of Kinnections, an AI-powered full-stack localized networking platform for University Career Fairs. I own problems from concept to deployment and I move fast.

I am a hardware tinkerer at heart. Whether it is a smart gait analysis insole detecting injury risk in real time or off-road racing electronics, I am drawn to problems that demand precision. I follow Formula 1 for the same reason I build things: the intersection of engineering and split-second decision making.
