I've always been fascinated by planes, especially heavy commercial airliners. The LA skies are full of them, and if you spend time around me, you'll notice I spend a lot of time looking up at the the planes above.
I have a deep passion for engineering that extends beyond aerospace, particularly in robotics and artificial intelligence. I'm lucky to be part of research that leverages machine learning to enable robots to perform increasingly natural, human-like tasks.
Sports and exercise are a major part of my life. I played competitive soccer for 15+ years and continue to stay active through gym workouts and pickup games. Basketball is my favorite sport to watch, but soccer suits my height better!
