UCI BSME — building systems that work
in the physical world. Test & validation,
hardware lab, systems integration.
Six-wheeled stair-climbing rover with a rocker-bogie suspension system built for autonomous navigation over uneven terrain. Led mechanical design, chassis fabrication, and motor integration.
View case study → Design binder ↓Impulse-driven autonomous navigation robot. Responsible for system architecture, embedded control logic, and coordinating mechanical and software subsystems across the team.
View case study → Design binder ↓Autonomous rover with real-time object detection and dynamic path correction. Handled sensor integration and control loop tuning — the two systems most responsible for competitive performance.
View case study → Design binder ↓I'm a mechanical engineer freshly out of UC Irvine, where I spent the last two years building robots that actually had to work — a stair-climbing rover, an impulse-driven navigation system, a line-following machine with computer vision.
My background spans mechanical design, embedded systems, and enough Python to be dangerous.
I'm targeting roles in test & validation, hardware lab engineering, and systems integration — places where the job is making sure the thing doesn't fail. Based in Orange County and open to opportunities nationwide.
Open to full-time roles and contract work.
