I'm a Bay Area native, multidisciplinary engineer, and curious hacker. Outside of my technical focus areas, I'm a pilot, Eagle Scout, outdoorsman, hobbyist, amateur historian, and known among my friends for being easy to nerdsnipe. I have worked in machine shops, at NASA Ames Research Center, Google X, and currently at Rivian-VW Tecnologies. At Ames, I worked on supporting SPHERES and Astrobee as a member of the systems engineering, integration, testing, and ground science team. At RVW, I am a systems engineer focused on platform sofware architecture and integration for next generation elecric vehicles. For more about work, find me on LinkedIn. I attended the College of San Mateo and Purdue University, where I studied electrical engineering and political science, which might have more in common than most people think.

Outside of work, I am an FAA Private Pilot, radio control hobbyist, privacy advocate, and outdoorsman. I have a longstanding interest in 3D printing and personal manufacturing; I release some of my designs on Printables. I am interested in photography and vv videography as a way to share experiences and release some of my video experiments on YouTube. I'm working on visiting every National Park from the ground and the from the air.

Professionally, I see myself as a wildcard contributor. I'm the first volunteer to take on solving new problems no matter where the root cause may be. I thrive in environments where my exact role is dictated by the problem that needs solving. I love to contribute everywhere that I can, and to know that the resulting magnitude of my contributions has moved the needle. I take pride in being able to speak the language of my teammates at every level from technicians to engineering managers. I strive for personal responsibility, empathetic communication, and respectful, effective collaboration at all times.
