Computer Science student at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly SLO).
Passionate about Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), robotics, real-time embedded systems, edge AI, and safe high-performance code.

I build systems that perceive, decide, and act in real time — from traffic anomaly detection on NVIDIA Jetson hardware to autonomous aerial systems for competitive unmanned aircraft. My work spans Rust-based autonomy software, Zenoh-powered distributed systems, and Nix-managed robotics deployments, with prior experience in VEXU competition robotics.

PolyUAS - A competitive Unmanned Aerial Systems team building drones for C-UAS competitions.

Software + GNC Lead

Designing safety-critical autonomy software, hardware integration layers, and autonomous navigation systems.

Current projects:

• UAS-Bumblebee — In-progress Rust swarm flight stack, developed as part of my work in PolyUAS.
• Bumblebee-NixOS — Reproducible NixOS configurations for Raspberry Pi 5 companion compute nodes, using the dendritic pattern to support modular, scalable deployments for PolyUAS projects.

Related work:

• C-UASC26 — Rust/Python/Zenoh autonomy stack covering control, guidance, navigation, and vision for PolyUAS's 2026 C-UAS competition entry, built on BROS.
• BROS — Lightweight distributed robotics framework combining Zenoh communications, language-native tooling, code generation/templates, and reproducible Nix-based builds and deployment. Developed as part of my work in PolyUAS.

• AI-Driven Real-Time Traffic Anomaly Detection
  Summer Undergraduate Research Project (SURP 2025) in collaboration with Caltrans District 5.
  Deploying neural networks on Jetson Orin Nano for mobile, battery-powered highway monitoring.
