Meet TEAM 

I have a strong interest in CAD and 3D printing, which has led me to play a key role in our team's strategic planning. I've been involved in some innovative projects, including the development of the X Claw. While I'm knowledgeable in OnShape, I also enjoy sharing what I've learned with the FTC community, contributing to the collective learning experience.

My dedication to robotics and software drives me to oversee the programming of our robot. This involves managing the drive train, integrating April Tags, and implementing machine learning through a custom TensorFlow interface model. I strive to contribute to our team's success, focusing on continuous improvement and collaboration with others.

With over six years of passion for robotics and STEM, being part of TEAM X is an absolute pleasure! I'm proficient in JavaScript, Python, and programming, and I've developed a water-saving Android app for the community. As the founder of a STEM Club, I excel in task prioritization, tutoring, and hosting outreach events, all contributing to our team's success!

I am interested in coding, particularly in Python, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge through public speaking. I play a role in Outreach, Funding, and Community involvement. One of my meaningful contributions is organizing free Coding Camps for kids, where they can learn Python, HTML, and CSS. These camps aim to inspire young minds and provide them with valuable coding skills in a supportive environment.

As the youngest member of our team, I strive to be a supportive team player. I enjoy contributing in various ways, from offering ideas to working on practical solutions. In addition to hands-on tasks, I take care of important organizational responsibilities like managing our Engineering notebook, portfolio, website, and other documentation needs. I believe that maintaining clear documentation is crucial for our team's success and collaboration.

I find that I enjoy bringing order to chaos, which is something I've learned to do through my four years of robotics experience. As a mentor, I try to use this skill to guide the team in game strategy, design, and overall project and team management. I use tools like Google Classroom to help with communication and collaboration, but I always try to stay humble and remember that there's always more to learn.

As the Chief Product Officer (CPO) and co-founder at Cowbell Cyber, I bring over 25 years of extensive experience in software architecture and design to the table. Throughout my career, I've been deeply involved in crafting innovative solutions for complex technological challenges, leveraging my expertise to drive product development and strategic initiatives.

I am deeply passionate about nurturing the next generation's interest in technology. I dedicate my free time to coaching kids in robotics and electronics, aiming to ignite their curiosity and creativity.

As the Chief Design Officer at Cowbell, I bring over 30 years of invaluable experience to my role. My journey began in the field of architecture, where I honed my skills in designing buildings and bridges. However, my passion for innovation and technology led me to transition into the dynamic world of web design, where I have thrived and evolved over the years. Beyond my professional endeavors, I am deeply committed to nurturing the next generation of designers and engineers. 

I find great joy in sharing my expertise with young minds, particularly through teaching CAD and other essential design principles.

I am deeply passionate about DIY projects, particularly in areas like 3D printing, woodwork, CNC, and design. Over the years, I've dedicated myself to honing these skills, finding immense joy in bringing my ideas to life through these creative mediums.

My involvement in mentoring and coaching robotics teams has been incredibly fulfilling. It allows me to share my expertise and passion with aspiring young minds, guiding them through the exciting process of designing and building robots. Seeing their growth and enthusiasm is truly rewarding and reinforces my commitment to this field.

I am a dedicated member of the FTC community, focusing on logic and reasoning in all aspects of life. I joined Team 12869, Voyager 6+, in 2021, learning software and hardware skills. I am the software lead, teaching new members and guiding them in Robotics and FTC-specific Java code. I also serve as the notebook lead, showcasing our team's portfolio to judges.

I am passionate about mentoring FTC teams, currently mentoring around 11 active teams. I co-founded VRTX Prints, a 3D print-on-demand company, to provide affordable prints and support FTC teams through sponsorship programs.
