About Me

Hello! I'm an Electrical Engineer living in Pittsburgh. I love building new things, and solving problems across hardware and software.

When I'm not at work I try to get outside whenever I can! I'm the secretaty for Explorers Club of Pittsburgh, and I like to hike, backpack, climb, bike, and ski. If I can't make it outside I love to watch movies and explore the city.

Publications

VR-NeRF: High-Fidelity Virtualized Walkable Space
Real Acoustic Fields: An Audio-Visual Room Acoustics Dataset and Benchmark
Masters of Engineering design project: "An Improved Stereo Camera Pattern Projector for Use in Robotics"
Undergraduate honors thesis: "Continuing Improvements of the Sharkduino Animal Tag System". In addition to my thesis I wrote an in depth report about the project at the end of my summer 2016 Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)

Portfolio

My engineering portfolio highlights some hardware projects I've been involved in. For various boring reasons it's currently only up to date with projects leading up to my Master's degree. My GitHub gives a small example of my software experience, unfortunately the majority of the code I have written can not be shared publicly.
