Systems That Work in Reality
I like the messy part: taking ambiguous goals, technical constraints, and real-world friction, then turning them into systems people can actually use.
Available for AI, systems, and technical leadership opportunities
I take complex, ambiguous problems and turn them into systems that actually work.
I’m a systems-focused consultant and builder with a background in physics, data analytics, and technical delivery. My work lives at the intersection of AI, automation, implementation, robotics, and real-world adoption.
About
A portfolio site that is both professional and personal
Technical Depth, Practical Range
My background spans physics, data analytics, implementation, automation, and hands-on building. I am comfortable moving between theory, tooling, and execution.
Builder and Communicator
I build things, document them, explain them, and improve them. That includes enterprise systems, robotics projects, technical writing, and portfolio work.
How I work
I like turning ambiguity into momentum
Systems thinking, practical execution, and strong communication
The kind of work I gravitate toward usually starts messy: unclear requirements, competing priorities, real operational constraints, and a lot of moving pieces. That is the environment where I tend to do my best work.
1
Understand the real problem
I try to get past the stated request and identify what actually needs to work, who it affects, and where failure points are likely to show up.
2
Build for reality, not just the demo
I care about adoption, maintainability, handoffs, and edge cases. A solution is only good if people can use it under real conditions.
3
Communicate clearly while solving
I like being the person who can translate between technical details, business goals, and execution plans without losing the thread.
4
Iterate until it is stable
I am comfortable refining systems over time, whether that means recovering a rough implementation, improving a workflow, or debugging a physical robot.

Projects
Things I’ve built, studied, or kept alive
A mix of hardware, data, writing, and systems thinking
Massachusetts Weather Trends Analysis
Data AnalysisCleaned and analyzed over a century of NOAA weather data (~3.2M records) to identify long-term trends in temperature, snowfall, and snow depth across Massachusetts.
- Built full data pipeline from raw NOAA station files
- Transformed and pivoted millions of records into analysis-ready format
- Identified warming winter trends and shifting snow behavior
Hexapod Robotics
RoboticsDesigned and built a six-legged robot combining an existing leg design with a fully custom body, control system, and power architecture to explore real-world locomotion and robotics systems.
- Implemented tripod gait with coordinated multi-leg movement
- Built custom control system using Raspberry Pi, PCA9685 drivers, and Xbox controller input
- Engineered power distribution for 18 servos using LiPo battery and voltage regulation
Solar Test Yard System
Data SystemsContributed to the instrumentation, calibration, and data collection systems for a large-scale photovoltaic research facility, supporting continuous performance monitoring and long-term research operations.
- Worked with solar measurement instrumentation and calibration procedures in a live research environment
- Supported continuous data acquisition and validation for photovoltaic system performance analysis
- Developed documentation and system knowledge transfer materials for future student researchers
Why this site exists
More than a resume
I wanted a place that could show the full range of my work: implementation leadership, technical systems thinking, robotics, writing, old research, and the thread connecting all of it.
Resumes flatten people. This site is meant to do the opposite.
What I am optimizing for
Useful, thoughtful, technically grounded work
- AI and systems roles where ambiguity is part of the job.
- Projects that bridge software, operations, and the physical world.
- Work that benefits from both technical depth and communication clarity.
Writing
Ideas worth expanding
From Physics to Applied AI Systems
WritingHow first-principles thinking, real-world systems experience, and implementation work converged into a systems-oriented approach to AI.
What It Means to Make a System Actually Work
WritingA practical perspective on delivery, ambiguity, adoption, and the gap between systems that look complete and systems that actually work in the real world.
Building a Robot as a Thinking Tool
Why robotics is such a powerful way to reconnect software, hardware, and reasoning.
