Highschool Student / Robotics Entusiast

Welcome to my lab — where axles spin, wires tangle, and code gives life to everything

I’m a curious teen with a screwdriver in one hand and a breadboard in the other. Ever since I started taking a part my toys (and kind-of put it back together), I’ve been hooked on building and inovating on things that move, think, and react.

I dove headfirst into robotics, electronics, and engineering—not just as small hobbies, but as ways to understand and shape the world around me. Whether I’m redesigning a mechanism, soldering a new circuit, or programming a robot, I love the challenge of turning ideas into working machines.

From school competitions to late-night tinkering sessions, every project teaches me something new—and reminds me that the future is built by those who aren’t afraid to experiment, fail, and try again.

Latest Projects

Hexpad

In this project I was taking part in the Hack Club Highway event where I built a custom macropad using skills like KiCad and Python. KiCad for the custom PCB and Python to write the KMK firmware. The macropad includes 6 switches, 1 rotary encoder and 1 OLED display encased in a 3D printed case

Teddy Cookie Cutter

In this project I modelled a teddybear-shaped cookie cutter for the Hack Club event, BakeBuild. This was by far the simplist event I have taken part in at Hackclub as the entire project was done in less than an hour

FRC Badge

I was taking part in the Hack Club Solder event where I was tasked with building a custom PCB. I took part in the event to be able to learn something more about electronics
