I joined Caltech's UAV club during the COVID pandemic in the Fall of 2020. I built two different kinds of photography drones, one which uses a smartphone and a handheld gimbal as the camera system, and one which aims to be the most compact gimbal-stabilized GoPro drone, rivalling the official GoPro Karma. Read more about these drones on my drone projects page.
I am currently president of Caltech's California Beta Chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the oldest engineering honor society in the United States. Members of our chapter qualified by exhibiting exemplary character as individuals, engineers, and scholars, along with academic eligibility by being at the top 1/8th of their class (juniors) or top 1/5th (for seniors) in regards to GPA. I attended the 52nd annual Tau Beta Pi convention in Knoxville, Tennesse where I served on the awards committee to help select the Most Improved Chapter award for 2021 and 2022.
Like the UAV club, I joined the Caltech Robotics Team during the COVID pandemic. I designed a 2-axis camera gimbal system for the "Gerald" submarine that made use of dual cameras for depth perception.
