CAD · MECHANICAL DESIGN

SolidWorks Train Assembly

Main sophomore-year project · Bayside High School

I used SolidWorks to model a locomotive as a set of individual parts, then assembled the components to study how the design fits and moves together.

GRADE 11

ROBOTICS · PROGRAMMING

VEX V5 Speedbot

Main junior-year project · Bayside High School

I programmed and documented an autonomous VEX robot, working with drivetrain behavior, optical color sensing, line tracking, and AI Vision setup while troubleshooting how sensing and motion interact.

GRADE 12

ELECTRONICS · EMBEDDED CONTROL

Arduino RGB LED Color Control

Arduino and circuits · Bayside High School

I explored how code can mix red, green, and blue light through PWM, extending the circuit with preset colors, potentiometer inputs, and serial control.

CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION

Environmental Engineering & Technology CTE

Bayside High School · Queens, New York City

My CTE program connects engineering, mathematics, and science through technical coursework and hands-on projects. Across the program, I have explored CAD modeling, robotics, circuits, prototyping, and design iteration.
