Comet Robotics
Aug. 2024 - May 2025
Web Developer
Haymarket, VA
At COMET, I led the creation of a new website to represent over 50 members, coordinating with graphics teams for UI design and converting ideas into CSS. I also employed AWS Cloud Services for reliable hosting from wherever our competitions took us. In my spare time, I volunteered at several STEM events.

Scouting Lead
As scouting lead, I developed a wireless data transfer system with QR Codes and OpenCV during competitions, ensuring that 10+ simultaneous users could consistently share their data. I evaluated robot performance with NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib to inform our game strategy, taking our team to district playoffs.

I used Next.JS, React, Prisma, ShadCN, Framer Motion, and Tailwind to create an alarm application that saves users alarms and plays them on time as long as the website tab is open. It allows users to upload their own local sounds for use with their alarms. Using NextAuth for authentication, it prohibits any activity beyond the welcome page without creating an account and also gives priviledge levels.
