Projects

Tungurahua Volcano Modeling & Simulation

Published:

In the fall of 2025, I was living in Seattle, working as a software engineer at SpaceX, and looking for a way to join my girlfriend in Palo Alto. I sent a number of emails to friends, coworkers, and past professors to inquire if they had leads on work that would allow me to work with both physics and software near Palo Alto.

Inverted Pendulum Kinematics, Control, and Estimation

Published:

During my time at SpaceX, I realized my favorite problems involved physics rather than pure software. This was a small project to refresh myself on kinematics, control laws, and Kalaman filters.

AA 279D: Starling Formation-Flying Project

Published:

As part of AA279D: Control of Distributed Space Systems, my partner and I wrote a report on NASA’s Starling mission analyzing the Keplerian orbital mechanics, relative motion, linear formation flying dynamics, control perturbation-invariant formations, and nonlinear formation control.

Megatronics (ME 210) Group Project

Published:

As a final project for ME 210: Introduction to Megatronics, I worked with a group of 4 to design and build a simple robot that could move balls around a course. We designed and built three progressively complex iterations of the robot in 2.5 weeks. I was lead of the mechanic design and also assisted writing the state machine and software for the robot.
