Most of my projects already exist online — on Instagram, YouTube, or FIRST competition logs. But those platforms only show outcomes. They don’t capture the reasoning behind the builds.

Engineering is not just about what works. It’s about why it works — and why other approaches didn’t.

In robotics, especially in FTC and FRC, constraints define everything. Weight limits. Space limitations. Time pressure. Manufacturing access. Reliability requirements. Strategy tradeoffs. Every design decision is a compromise between competing variables.

What interests me most isn’t just building mechanisms — it’s understanding systems.

How does mechanical design interact with control loops?
How does driver strategy influence subsystem architecture?
How do small inefficiencies compound over a full match cycle?

This site exists to document that layer.

Here, I’ll break down:

• Design decisions and the tradeoffs behind them
• Iterations that failed and why
• Lessons learned under competition pressure
• Experiments in embedded control and applied engineering

Over time, I want this to reflect not just completed projects, but the evolution of my thinking.
