Curiosity.
Put to work.

My contribution

I designed and built the PCBs and developed the telemetry code from the ground up. I was the lead electrician and software developer, and served as co-president in 2023–2024 and president in 2024–2025.

The Raspberry Pi system I worked on

During my involvement, the system was built around a Raspberry Pi. I designed the custom PCBs and telemetry software to bring vehicle data from the car to the pit.

The earlier code combines Arduino sensor collection with Raspberry Pi processing and LoRa radio. The 2024 season repository moves more acquisition onto the Pi, using I²C analog-to-digital converters and an inertial measurement unit. The car and pit repositories document the onboard collection and receiving software.

Team results

• First-place qualifying lap and third overall at the international competition in Abu Dhabi, UAE, March 2024.
• First place at the Shenandoah Valley competition, April 2024.
• First place at the Washington, DC regional competition, June 2024.

Returning on the other side of the track

In spring 2026, I joined the EVGP officiating team. My first event as an official was in Dubai, UAE—the next chapter after competing as a student.

The problem

Duplicate databases contained inconsistent data. Finding the differences was only the first step; understanding their source mattered just as much.

My contribution

I wrote SQL checks, analyzed inconsistent data, traced errors to their sources, and submitted requests to have those sources corrected. The scripts were straightforward; their purpose was to make errors easier to find.

The experience

This work connected software development with practical investigation: using a tool to surface problems and following the evidence back to their cause.

I served in head leadership on Harrisonburg High School’s robotics team in 2023–2024. Working in partnership with Shickel Corporation, our team brought digital designs into physical builds and iterated for competition.

Our 2023 recognitions included the Technical Innovation Award, first-place Inspire Award, and first-place Qualifying Award.

I built my first computer at age ten. Since then, I’ve continued learning through custom PCs, hardware and software troubleshooting, server management, and the Linux command line.

For me, maintaining a site is part of the work: keeping information useful, accessible, and current for the people who need it.

Marching Virginians

I joined as a manager in 2025, supporting the leadership team and managing livestreams of the final practice before games. In August 2026, I became Head Undergraduate Staff.

School & community theater

I was lead sound technician for Harrisonburg High School productions of Chicago, Newsies, Cats, and High School the Musical between 2021 and 2025. I also led sound for Can’t Feel at Home at Court Square Theater in 2024.

Sharing what I know

I trained Thomas Harrison Middle School students on sound equipment in 2023, supported church livestreaming from 2018–2022, and served as my high school marching band’s Electrical Logistics Leader and Lead Sound Technician in 2022–2024.
