CS and neuroscience at Texas A&M. Interested in neural interfaces and assistive tech.

about

I'm drawn to the question of how we read intent from the body and build systems that adapt to people rather than asking people to adapt to them. That question sits at the crossroads of human-centered design and engineering, and right now it leads me to neurotech.

In 2025 I joined Paradromics as a neuroengineering intern, where I work on neural data transmission and the experimental rig for the Connexus® BCI platform, focused on restoring speech and device control for people with motor conditions. More recently I co-founded ExG Labs, where we're building assistive neural interfaces for people with motor impairments.

Outside of engineering I think a lot about the philosophy behind what we build and how technology reshapes human agency, something I believe should sit at the core of any meaningful technical work.

      Writings

      Things I'm thinking through. Neurotech, philosophy, and the questions that sit underneath both.

        Projects

        Things I've built. Most of them hardware, most of them close to the body.
