travel
Fog-drowned oak trees, Barcelona tilework, snow I wasn’t dressed for, and every skyline at sunset. I collect places the way other people collect souvenirs.

i build robots that cook — and a life that orbits the sun
↓I studied computing at Georgia Tech and now spend my days at Swish Robotics, teaching a one-pot robot how to cook dinner. The rest of the time I’m chasing golden hour somewhere — a trailhead, a flea market, a kitchen covered in flour.
This site is arranged the way I think about my life: like a small solar system, held together by light, energy, and gravity.
The sun spreads light to the entire solar system. It reaches everywhere.
I try to bring this exploration into my life.
Fog-drowned oak trees, Barcelona tilework, snow I wasn’t dressed for, and every skyline at sunset. I collect places the way other people collect souvenirs.
Flea markets and estate sales are archaeology with better lighting. The best things I own have already lived a whole life with someone else.
Give me a laptop, an iced coffee, and a question I can’t put down. Exploration doesn’t always need a passport.
The sun fuels life, generates power, and warms the earth.
It is constantly creating.
Lattice-top pies, macarons, a paratha breakfast for a crowd — my kitchen runs hotter than my laptop. Feeding people is the most direct way I know to say I’m glad you exist.
From FIRST Team 114 to quadrupeds in the lab to my day job at Swish Robotics, where the robot’s job is dinner. The two halves of my life finally share a pot.
The sun holds the entire solar system together.
It provides balance.
Roommates, road-trip copilots, the group chat that never sleeps. Everything else in orbit is only interesting because of who’s standing next to me.
AKPsi, late nights at Coda, robotics teams, kitchens full of people who showed up hungry. Find your people; keep them close.
