Robotics & CS @ U-M • Software Engineering • Instructional Aid

I am a Robotics x CS student at the University of Michigan, dedicated to bridging the gap between high-level code and physical motion. My work sits at the intersection of autonomous systems, deep learning, and robust software architecture.

Beyond the code, I’m passionate about distilling complex concepts into intuition. Whether through tutoring or my work as an IA, I find as much fulfillment in debugging a peer’s logic as I do in optimizing a robot’s trajectory.

What I’m ENGINEERING

NiFT Autonomous Shuttle

Perot Jain TechLab at Mcity

Delivering a proof-of-concept that transforms the NiFT Shuttle QB into an L4 autonomous vehicle, leveraging infrastructure-based sensing and routing protocols.

SIM-26 Driving Simulator

Multidisciplinary Design Program

Leading development on an accessible driving simulator powered by Unreal Engine 5 to assist research on driver workload and distraction.

What I’m MENTORING

U-M Robotics | 2026 – Now

ROB 320 Instructional Aid

Helping lab sections, holding office hours, creating exam and grading on topics of Linux IPC, developing Robot Interprocess eXchange (RIX), and kinematics & transforms.
