EE @ Yale
I work on robotics, from embedded systems to computer vision.
Projects
Captain; Led a 4-time World Championship-qualifying team (2023 Worlds finalist).
A three-rotor Vertical Takeoff-Landing drone, with autonomous flight capability. Supported by Phillips Exeter Academy.
I cofounded SRS Robotics, and developed the SRSHub, a high-performance sensor-reading board.
Featuring an ultra-precise barometer and 6-DOF IMU, the Polaris FC is intended for rocketry and UAV applications with an STM32H7 MCU and support for 5 servos or ESCs.
