I am a Mechanical Engineering student at Purdue University focusing on drones (UAS), autonomy, and hands-on aerospace and robotics applications. I enjoy building things from the ground up and figuring out how to turn an idea into something that actually works. My experience ranges from designing and building FPV aircraft to developing autonomous systems, working with electronics, and testing aircraft in real-world environments.

I’m especially interested in the intersection of mechanical design, autonomous systems, and aerospace. Through my work with Purdue and the Air Force Research Laboratory, I’ve been able to work on an autonomous emergency medical delivery drone, gaining experience in aircraft assembly, electronics, CAD, navigation, and flight testing. Outside of school, I’m constantly working on personal drone projects and experimenting with new ideas to learn through hands-on experience.

I’m always looking for opportunities to build, learn, and work on projects that have a real-world impact.

At Purdue, I am currently conducting research at PURT, Purdue's state of the art indoor drone lab, under Dr. James Goppert with collaboration from the Airforce Research Labs. We are working towards creating a drone with the ability to deliver Narcan to overdose victims in emergency situations. 

We derived vehicle flight performance requirements modeling current EMS infrastructure and the impact of cooperatively deployed UAVs. These drones doubles the EMS coverage area of Indiana in a six minute window. With the ability to rapidly reach far distances, autonomously land, and provide medication and instructions to bystanders, a fleet of these UAVs provide EMS responses to areas where ambulances cannot reach quickly, improving the medical outcomes of overdose victims.
