Electrical and Computer Engineering student at Lafayette College (B.S. ECE, Minor in CS, 4.00 GPA, Dean's List, Oechsle Scholar) focused on embedded systems, robotics, and control engineering.

As a Bergh Family Fellow & EXCEL Scholar, I research precise motion control of a 6-DOF robotic arm. I replaced the stock firmware on an AR4 MK3 with a custom MATLAB/Simulink control stack: six real-time joint controllers with S-curve velocity profiles, a staged homing sequencer, and closed-form inverse kinematics validated on hardware to 2–4 mm end-effector error, deployed to a Teensy 4.1 via Embedded Coder. On top of that I built an HSV vision pipeline for colour-sorting pick-and-place. I also built a microcontroller-free collision-avoidance robot with 555 timers, comparators, and differential amplifiers, and a bare-metal STM32 PID motor controller in register-level Embedded C with no HAL.

I also build at hackathons: 1st place in the Environmental Track at MakeCU 2026 (1 of 31 teams, where I built the radar hardware and 3D-printed enclosure for NextUp), Best Quantum Debut at YQuantum 2026, and 2nd Most Innovative Project at the Lehigh Hackathon 2026.

Beyond engineering, I am Co-President of the Muslim Student Association and a Resident Advisor. I am always seeking opportunities to build, learn, and collaborate across hardware and software.

• 🤖 AR4 Custom Control System — Custom MATLAB/Simulink control stack replacing stock firmware on an AR4 MK3 6-DOF arm; six real-time joint controllers with S-curve profiling and backlash compensation, staged homing sequencer, and closed-form IK (2–4 mm end-effector error across 5 poses) generating C for a Teensy 4.1, with an HSV vision pipeline for colour-sorting pick-and-place
• 🚿 NextUp (MakeCU 2026, 1st place Environmental Track, team of 4) — Shower-stall availability system for shared dorm bathrooms. I owned the hardware: an HLK-LD2410C mmWave radar on a Raspberry Pi with presence detection and empty-stall auto-calibration, plus a 3D-printed enclosure for the Pi, display, and power bank
• 🔩 STM32 PID Motor Controller — Bare-metal closed-loop PID velocity controller in register-level Embedded C (no HAL) on an STM32F446RE; PWM motor drive, hardware quadrature encoder decoding, validated across two independent step-response trials (30 ms rise time, <7% steady-state error)
• 🏎️ RaceBall (HackPSU Fall 2026, team of 3) — Multiplayer racing game steered by phone tilt, with a shared big screen. I owned art direction, audio, and UI, and wrote an adaptive render-quality controller and the drift and heading-clamp gameplay rules
• 🦾 AR4 ROS2 Joint Controller — ROS2 C++ node publishing 6-DOF joint states at 50 Hz through physics-based trapezoidal motion profiles, visualized live in RViz via URDF/TF (simulation)
• ⚙️ C++ Motor Simulator — Physics-based trapezoidal motion simulator for robotic joint control, validated against MATLAB Simulink to <0.5% positional error
• 🚦 Traffic Light FSM Controller — Moore FSM in SystemVerilog on a Nexys A7 FPGA for a two-intersection controller with pedestrian priority, validated in Vivado simulation and on hardware
• ⚛️ QuBots — Quantum Portfolio Optimization (collaborative, YQuantum 2026) — Portfolio optimization formulated as a QUBO and solved via QAOA on an 8-qubit neutral-atom simulation; won Best Quantum Debut
