I build things that fly, print, & serve.
I am a Computer Engineering student at the University of Alabama studying the intersection of hardware and software. I have worked on projects ranging from FPV racing drones and custom sensor PCBs to a self-built 3D printer and a home datacenter.
Selected Builds
Developed firmware for a custom electrochemical sensing PCB during an REU program at Clarkson University. An EFR32BG24 sleeps between RTC-scheduled wakeups, samples an LMP91000 sensor, and streams data over BLE, with timekeeping built for timestamp logging.
A custom freestyle quad built from sourced components and configured in Betaflight. 100+ hours of FPV flight time, including a waterfall dive and a moving sports car chase — both shot on DJI's digital FPV system.
A compact, core-xy 3D printer designed for unlimited customization and control. Building this machine from scratch allowed me to understand the inner workings of Klipper and how these printers work. I've used it to print some of my own designs.
A bare-metal hypervisor server used to host various services including Immich, Home Assistant, and Twingate. Maintaining and configuring this server significantly increased my knowledge and interest in computer networking as well as the robust capabilities that these virtualized environments provide.
A custom 5-inch racing quad engineered for the Collegiate Drone Racing Competition in Tulsa. Optimized for low-latency responsiveness using the HDZero video system and an advanced race tune.
Research · leadership · work
Developed a power efficient firmware for a custom PCB featuring an LMP91000 sensor, as part of a Research Experience for Undergraduates program.
Manage the access-control credential system for Bryant-Denny Stadium (100k+ capacity). Set up metal detectors and bike racks in anticipation of game day.
Participated in calibrating, placing, and inserting batteries for 500 light-show drones.
Co-founded UA's official drone racing team to foster campus interest in FPV flight and engineering. Teach students how to build, program, and fly competitive drones while practicing efficient flying techniques.
