Currently I&#8217;m a Junior pursuing a double major in Robotics and Electrical &amp; Computer Engineering with a focus in embedded systems and software engineering. I have written programs and taken classes in C\/C++, Arduino, Verilog, Java, Python, and MatLab. Throughout my college career I have programed Arduino boards (Nano\u2019s, Uno\u2019s, and Mega\u2019s), the Texas Instrument\u2019s MSP430, the Nucleo Board, and the Artix 7 FPGA. Currently, I am focusing on Python and ROS for my robotics class. As an RBE and ECE double major I enjoy bridging the gap between the physical and digital world through sensors, integrated circuits, and code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y4B4QkW97oU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>Robotics Class Cinematic Video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">My passion for art started with my need to express my creative juices. In middle school, I attend an art summer camp where I was exposed to various forms of art (foam, abstract, acrylic, watercolor, etc.) After some sketches during class periods, I decided to take an advanced art course in my senior year of high school. In this class I was able to take a deeper look into pencil drawings, watercolor, pastels, ink, and acrylic. After graduating and coming to WPI I realized I could take advantage of the humanities depth to pursue my passion for the various forms that art can take. I took Essentials of Art, 3D Modeling I, and Figuring Drawing. Now I\u2019m here in Light Art, ready to combine my passion for both art and electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
