MECHANICAL ENGINEERING — CAD / HARDWARE / ROBOTICS

I design the parts that make robots move.

MS student in Mechanical Engineering at Duke University, working hands-on across CAD, manufacturing, and hardware for legged and wearable robots.

Visible-Reachable Workspace for Perception-Aware Humanoid Design

A 27-degree-of-freedom humanoid platform with an independently actuated dual-camera head, built to study how a robot's gaze and reach should be designed together rather than separately. I contributed heavy CAD work to the hardware side of this software-driven research effort.

Current Work

2025 — 2026

Ongoing projects across two labs, spanning wearable robotics and a personal build.

OPENEXO

OpenExo Modular Exoskeleton

Building out the open-source OpenExo platform and designing a new controller for it, under Professor Krithika's lab.

ME 555 — CORNERSTONE

Wrist Rehabilitation Exoskeleton

Team project built on an open-source base, designing a wrist exoskeleton for rehabilitation use, with teammate Nate.

PERSONAL BUILD

Tyranitar

A personal robotic build inspired by Davis Zapata's Metagross robot. Currently in CAD.

RESEARCH

Prosthetic Ankle

A prosthetic ankle project with a possible patent in progress. Full write-up pending sign-off from the project owner.

OFF THE CLOCK

Older builds — competition robotics, LEGO, and origami — kept around because they're still fun to look at.

Apollyon Mk II

LEGO MOC, EB-02-2.

Apollyon

LEGO MOC, EB-02-1.

Kai

LEGO MOC, EB-01.

Origami Tyrannosaurus rex

Single-sheet fold.

Origami Spinosaurus aegyptiacus

Single-sheet fold.

Origami X-wing

From Star Wars.

Origami Nautilus Shell

Design by Tomoko Fuse.

Origami Kusudama

Modular fold.

Earlier competition robotics work (drivetrains, sensor mounts, test rigs) lives on the old site for now — mostly superseded by the work above.
