FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC)
May 2024 - June 2026Lead Programmer & Team Captain
Above shows the FTC team I was part of after we just won our first competition since 2017.When I first joined FTC Team 10195, Night Owls, I was a junior in High School, there, I learned how to program in Java and learn the basics of robotics, that summer, my software led to the team reaching the #1 Offensive Power Rating in the State. The year after that, I became captain, and the software I developed there led to our team winning our first qualifier since 2017.
See below some of the FTC robots I developed software for (SOAR and FURY).A&T CLAEM Internship
Summer 2026Software Developer
Above shows me working during the CLAEM internship.The CLAEM internship was a program where high school students interned at A&T and helped graduate students work on there projects, some helped with design and CAD, but I helped with software developement. Here I worked on two robots: AWARE, an agricultural robot, and MOM, an indoor cleaning robot. Here I learned and applied more advanced robotics skills, including mapping, localization, and path planning.
Please see below some of the robots I worked on during the CLAEM internship (AWARE and MOM).Projects
