I’m a robotics and software engineer, business owner, and musician with a deep passion for applied math, physics, and mentoring the next generation of engineers. My work involves designing and building autonomous robots and AI systems – tackling real-world problems that connect directly to what students learn in STEM classrooms. I’ve helped numerous students strengthen their technical and professional skills, as I actively mentor college engineers through a Columbia University program that provides hands-on startup experience.
I graduated cum laude from the University of Michigan with a B.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering, a minor in Electrical Engineering, and an honors focus in Entrepreneurial Design. I then worked at General Motors as an embedded systems and software engineer on several major EV programs, including the Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq. Outside of work, I performed as a jazz keyboardist with a professional band that used to include Antwaun Stanley of Vulfpeck.
After GM, I earned my MBA from Columbia Business School, where I focused on entrepreneurship and technology management. During my MBA, I founded my current company and won multiple startup competitions and grants, including first prize in the Lang Entrepreneurship Center’s summer venture competition.
I truly enjoy tutoring STEM students and helping them build confidence in applying what they learn to real-world challenges. My goal is to make complex concepts accessible, inspiring, and relevant to each student’s future ambitions.
