Robotics & Mechanical Engineering Student

San Diego, CA / Purdue University

I am an incoming First-Year Engineering student at Purdue University interested in robotics, autonomous systems, and mechanical design. My work focuses on building systems across CAD, actuators, embedded computing, computer vision, and artificial intelligence. I am currently working on a VLA model for my robotic arm: an embedded AI system that uses computer vision to detect a block's color and pick it up when prompted.
