SK / notebook 01 · Houston, TX
Mechanical engineering student at the University of Houston, building across hardware, robotics, and AI.
currently: robotic wafer handling
+ a wearable gimbal controller
01 · Jul 2026 – present · independent
A wearable controller that turns my wrist orientation into pan and tilt for a two-axis laser gimbal.
my part → I'm designing the forearm cuffs, brackets, gimbal parts, and electronics enclosure in Fusion and SolidWorks, then printing and refitting them.
Full case study coming soon
02 · Sep – Dec 2026 · SPARK-UP research program
Robotic handling of whole semiconductor wafers, positioned for optical inspection and surface-defect detection.
my part → My focus is the mechanical side: an end effector and positioning fixture so the camera gets repeatable views of the wafer.
Full case study coming soon
03 · CodeRED: Orion 2026 · team project
A connected community fridge with live condition monitoring, camera-assisted inventory, and a voice-guided donation station.
my part → I contributed to the hardware-to-software side: sensor monitoring, camera workflows, and making the demo dependable.

tools I use →
I'm a mechanical engineering student at the University of Houston, minoring in aerospace engineering. I like projects where CAD turns into something physical and then has to talk to sensors and software.
Outside of class I'm on Cougar Racing's Formula SAE team, a Design & Make Ambassador for Autodesk, and a workshop officer with CougarAI.
