I’ve always loved making things. I’m inspired by the problems in our world and fixing them with innovation and new solutions. Constantly thinking about how things are made or can be improved, and new ideas to make life better for people drives my passion for engineering, robotics, and AI. I’ve enjoyed inventing many projects including a low-cost breathing support device during the Covid ventilator shortage. Currently, I am working on a tech start-up as well as setting up an educational AI tool that will be incorporated into my schools’ engineering program. As a Masason Foundation member, my goal is to continue pursuing the latest in the field of technology nationally and internationally. I hope the opportunity will allow me to network with top experts in my field, as well as meet, exchange ideas and collaborate with other dedicated members from around the globe. Through that, I want to further create and innovate to change our world for the better.
