i'd describe myself as anentrepreneur,mechatronics engineer,designer,stoic, andlanguage-learning enthusiast.I focus on building through research. i construct scalable applications, infrastructure, and multi-disciplinary mechanical/electrical systems with the purpose to build humanist tech.
also, if you can't already tell, i'm a big fan of lowercase letters. my other (perhaps more tangible) interests include:
Leading development of the world's first adaptive running coach with real-time vocal guidance with other Yale engineers. Combining biomechanics, machine learning, and custom hardware to revolutionize athletic training.
my journey spans multiple ventures and research areas that combine mechatronics, AI, and human-centered design:
now, I co-run Flux Labs, a research collaborative to develop next-gen athletic and health intelligence combining machine learning with biomechanical research.
currently co-leading the Yale Mars Exploration Rover team of the Yale Undergraduate Aerospace Association.
built Zyndicate to 30k+ users worldwide, navigating venture capital and acquisition pathways in the creator economy space.
co-founded HSC-GPT, Australia's first AI education platform, acquired by Art of Smart Education in 2023.
developed UpDrop in late 2021, an autonomous drone delivery system that won 2nd place worldwide at the World Robot Olympiad.
part of the engineering team @ CourseTable, Yale's most used student-run platform serving millions of requests monthly.

the research abstract outlining my work as team lead for the Yale Space Policy Research Collaborative (SPRC), in partnership with the SDA TAP LAB and the US Space Force.
Content
i make videos about college, life, learning, and anything that comes to mind!
RESEARCH: MECHATRONICS
AI-powered athletic cognition: the world’s first adaptive running coach with real-time vocal guidance. Built by runners, for runners.
University Project
A mini life-detecting rover, built as a class final project for MENG 185 at Yale. We designed sensors to detect microbial signatures in soil samples.
Team Lead
Led Electronics & Control (2025) and now Project Lead (2026) for the Harkness v0.1.0. This rover is designed for off-world analog missions under the Yale University Astronautics Association.
Writing
Reflections on engineering, language learning, and humanist tech. I write about mechatronics experiments, AI musings, and more.
think of this section as a snapshot of my personal lab–chaos and creativity. whether I'm building autonomous systems that never (sometimes) crash, engineering apps and systems that scale faster than my caffeine intake, or designing circuits to power my wildest ideas, my toolkit gets me ready for action. from crafting sleek UIs to tinkering with microcontrollers and CAD models for robotics, every tool I use has one goal: turning ambitious concepts into reality with the purpose of generating explicit humanist value. my work is a mix of research-driven innovation, mechatronics, and a relentless "what if we tried this?" type of energy. if it involves debugging, soldering, or pushing boundaries, you'll find me in the thick of it with these technologies—in fact, probably with a half-empty coffee cup or a notebook full of equations. or both. :)
as someone passionate about languages, I strive to connect with people across cultures. languages have quickly become my favorite way to learn about different cultures; it's simply amazing. plus, the ability to develop an entirely separate way of thinking is a a true marvel (not to mention the fact that one gains the ability to communicate with so many other human beings with stories to share, lessons to teach, and a whole lot of fun to have). here's a snapshot of the languages I speak and am learning at the moment:

if i'm not working, running, or, at the gym, you can find me reading, learning languages, watching videos on topics that interest me, hanging out with friends, or building a variety of things with mechatronics and software (open source and private). Oh, and perhaps having a cappuccino—pure perfection.
thank you! ❤️
The following are a few articles written about me and/or my ventures.
The 16-year-olds designed 'Updrop', a more efficient system for home deliveries of food or parcels. This is the first time that Costa Rica has achieved a distinction of this type in the World Robotics Olympiad.
Two Costa Rican college students stand out in the category where 53 other teams competed; they did it with a drone-based parcel delivery system
Young people create drone package delivery platform and win robotics Olympiad
Drones are controlled by an app they called 'UpDrop'
For the first time our country reaches a second place in the World Robot Olympiad (World Robot Olympiad WRO, for its acronym in English); this thanks to the participation of Mark Music and Filippo Fonseca, both tenth-year students, who presented the project called UpDrop.
