2025 NASA Lunabotics First Place Winners
2025 NASA Lunabotics First Place Winners
On the University of Utah’s Lunabotics team, I designed, prototyped, and built wheels with custom 3D printed grousers. I specced, wired, tested, and integrated four BLDC motors, made custom wire adapters for early bring-up, and programmed VESC motor controller. I selected and configured a COTS BMS and upgraded to 14-AWG wiring, adding protections. I configured and tuned traction/PID settings for precise drive control. I also designed adjustable mounts for color and RealSense cameras and CNC-machined precision hinge bores. Results: NASA Lunabotics Artemis Award (overall champion) plus wins in presentation, demonstration, largest construction, outreach, and sportsmanship.

I first learned to love robotics in my high school robotics team, Red Rock Robotics. Here I was able to build competencies with all sorts of power tools, horizontal and vertical bandsaws, and most importantly to me; CAD, CAM, and 3D printers. With our robust (kick proof) design, strong autonomous software, and my own designs for a 3D printed claw and rope climber, I was able to help lead our team through regionals onto the Championship in Texas as team captain. Our robot was also awarded General Motor's Industrial Design Award because of its resilient design.
3D Printer Management
3D Printer Management
Over three years at the Marriott Library’s Protospace, I scaled the 3D-printer fleet from 12 to 50+ and supported a fast-growing user community. I built hands-on skills across mechanics (assembly; belt/bearing maintenance), electronics (troubleshooting motor drivers, limit switches), and software (firmware, Python automation, networking, Linux).
Fixturing and Design Work
Fixturing and Design Work
Blend of campus and industry work: custom fixturing & DV&V on MTS/Mark-10 with ASTM/ISO protocols at the Orthopaedic Innovation Center, plus fixture-driven prototyping (FDM/SLA, CNC, SolidWorks PDM) for U of U labs and Facilities, covering blood lab microscope adapters, high-volume repairs, and MRI enclosures; DFM mentoring to senior design teams and mechatronics teams.

What you see here is the underside of my V2 electric skateboard. The deck consists of one fully 3D printed unibody design enclosing the open source motor controller, a 10S2P battery pack with 18650s and a BMS, as well as an anti-spark XT90 connector for charging, a radio for a remote, and an LED power button.
