About

I’m a fourth-year Stanford Mechanical Engineering student with an interest in robotics, mechatronics, sustainability, and mechanical systems. Grounded in physics and guided by design principles, I’m a willing learner who adapts quickly and loves exploring new fields.

      - Designing a <$1k, real-time wearable sensor suite for human pose tracking that’s robust across varied environments; approach uses nine body-mounted VIO modules. - Built the modules end-to-end: part selection, mounts/enclosures and fabrication, sensor calibration, ROS2 drivers/wrappers, OpenVINS integration, and logging/tooling. - Validation: benchmarked against AprilTag ground truth; latest accuracy median 5.03 cm, mean 7.84 cm from true position.
