Robotics engineer, novice reader, and amateur hiker.

I am a robotics engineer, a novice reader, an amateur hiker, and a lifelong learner.

I recently graduated from West Virginia University (WVU) with a degree in Computer Engineering. During my time at WVU, I served as the Programming and Algorithms Team Lead for the University Rover Challenge (URC) Team, where I led software development and robot autonomy efforts for three consecutive years. In this role, I developed resilient robot autonomy systems, and contributed to multiple top placements in international, collegiate-level robotics competitions.

My experience in robotics also includes research in swarm robotics, and integrating mapping and autonomy systems on both indoor and outdoor ground-based robots. I am passionate about robotics and software development and am actively seeking a full-time position in these fields.
