Adventurer, Learner, Leader

Hello! My biggest passions in life are working with teams and the revelations that come through constant revision to a design.  I’ve been blowing off steam by playing the tuba for the past 13 years (as well as travelling and taking some photos).

I’m always looking for opportunities to work with other motivated people on a project that benefits the world or that is just plain cool. Here are some of my favorite projects so far:

-Pediatric pulse-ox for rural health centers (WHO targeted as customer)
-Cheap defibrillator battery alternatives
-Interplanetary Mining Robots (I love systems design, sensors, and planning)
-Image based diabetic retinopathy diagnosis
-Creating and delivering an intro to machine learning course for the general Cleveland community
