I like to 3D design and build stuff from scratch. Some may even call me an engineer! Regardless, here's a brief overview of what I do, and you can decide what title to give me.
Currently a junior at Duke University, double majoring in mechanical engineering & electrical computer engineering.
Building RC airplanes from scratch, using composite materials, 3D printing, balsa, and/or foamboard.
It ain't much, but it's honest work. Most of the time coding it was used as a tool to aid in research. Animation above is from research in simulating a 3-celestial body system in Python.
I like to draw digital and/or traditional art as a side hobby, and primarily focus on drawing animals as a means of taking a break from all the hard edges you often see while CADding. I have also taken two art classes in college, and they're some of the most fun classes I've had!
I recently got into drone racing at my college, and participated in the 2024 and 2025 Collegiate Drone Racing Championship! I was still a rookie during the 2024 races and barely qualified, but was able to get 2nd place in the finals sports bracket [placements 33-48] in 2025!
