A recent graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, class of 2014, with a degree in Robotics Engineering. I googled my name one day and was so disappointed by the lack of results, I decided to make my own website! In all seriousness, though, I had a bunch of pictures and code lying around from some pretty cool projects, but had nowhere to display or store any of it. This, combined with my continued desire to learn, lead to the creation of this website. Here you'll find information about myself, the projects that occupy my time, and anything else that catches my attention. Thanks for dropping by!.
