About Me

I'm a passionate mechanical engineering high school student with hands-on experience working on amazing projects. From designing, printing, and coding an Iron Man helmet to building a 7-joint Freddy Fazbear animatronic and even interning at Airbus Robotics, I thrive on turning creative ideas into reality.

I specialize in CAD and multiple programming languages, bringing a unique passion and obsession to each project I take on.
