Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering/Boston, MA

High school/Sandy, UT

Verilog, OpenLane, Tiny Tapeout

• Designed a closed-loop motor controller in Verilog and taped it out on SkyWater 130 nm silicon through a multi-project wafer shuttle
• Implemented control arithmetic in fixed point, closing timing at 50 MHz after synthesis
• Verified with a self-checking testbench and gate-level simulation, then brought up the returned die on hardware

Java, Kotlin, Limelight 3A

• Derived a shoot-on-the-move solver that projects robot state forward across system latency, then binary searches time of flight to solve turret heading and flywheel RPM
• Built an autonomous framework that cut 12 competition routines to 20–30 lines each, with alliance mirroring generating red field geometry from blue definitions
• Integrated Limelight AprilTag relocalization behind a staleness gate to correct odometry drift mid-match
• Modeled turret torque and flywheel spin-up to size the shooter motor and gearing

Python, python-chess, UCI, Lichess database

• Building a chess agent that plays for draws, selecting moves by highest draw probability from engine win-draw-loss evaluation
• Wrote a threaded UCI engine wrapper with timeout handling, and a board subclass with incremental Zobrist hashing for fast repetition detection, covered by unit tests
• Training a network on Lichess games with a reward function ranking draws above wins, as a research project

Python, OpenCV, NumPy, Raspberry Pi

• Built a Raspberry Pi vision system that counts game elements by HSV color thresholding and blob area, with debounce to reject duplicate detections
• Wrote an interactive calibration tool that samples ball colors by click and writes thresholds, region of interest, and alliance to a configuration file
• Removed venue-specific retuning from the code path, so lighting changes need no rebuild

FIRST Tech Challenge Team 3747, The Hive/Sandy, UT

• Captained a 15-student team, owning software architecture, robot design, and competition strategy
• Led the team to back-to-back-to-back appearances at the World Championship, winning two awards there

FIRST LEGO League Utah/Sandy, UT

• Supported statewide program delivery and competition events for participating teams

Starbucks/Sandy, UT

• Worked 35 hours per week through a full school year while leading a robotics team and carrying a full course load
