About Me

Robotics and mechatronics have been my main hacking interest for the last few years. I started as the original Bug Labs intern working the software devs. Most of my time is consumed at the University of Delaware where I am an undergrad seeking Mechanical Engineering degree with a minor in Computer Science. Check out my new blog on open source robotics for more.
