Club President

Ravenwood Robotics Club
05.2023 - 05.2024

During my senior year, I served as the president of my high school's robotics club. In this role, I supported our sister teams, guiding them in creating competitive robots for that year's competitions. I was responsible for scheduling competitions and managing inventory to ensure we had the necessary parts. My tenure saw numerous internal disputes among team members, which I resolved to maintain team efficiency. Our club's performance was exceptional, securing a total of 20 trophies throughout the season, including two state championship awards. Additionally, half of our teams qualified for the world championship at the year's end.

Some of my other responsibilities includes:

  • Formulated and enforced club rules, regulations and policies.
  • Established relationships with club members and maintained positive club standing with trustworthy actions and professionalism.
  • Fostered teamwork within executive board which lead to better coordination during event planning.
  • Educated new members and officers on policies and procedures relevant to different roles.
  • Organized special activities and events for existing club members including, after competition parties, club meetings, match analysis, etc.

CAD Drafter

Ravenwood Highschool ACE Mentorship Program
09.2022 - 04.2024

The ACE Mentorship Program was a school club that explained the construction industry, from architecture and engineering to business and actual construction. Our mentors, who were professionals from various companies in the industry in Nashville, taught us these processes. We then had to create a project based on a single word. As the Lead CAD Designer, it was my responsibility to create structurally sound 3D model of the design using software like Revit and AutoCAD. In our presentations, we would explain the rationale behind the project, detailing all its systems. My role included presenting the CAD renderings and the engineering systems of the building to an audience of 500 people.

Remote Control Plane Crafting

In my spare time at home when I am not actively competing or participation in a club at school, I would craft RC Planes in my free time at home. I would sketch various designs on paper at home and come to a design that I found had a good mix of being air worthy but looked cool at the same time. Hence, I would create a lot of fighter aircraft using electric ducted fan (EDF) motor. I would work on each project for about 1 year each because I would not have much free time outside of school other than sometimes on the weekends. My first ever project was a simple EDF motor strapped to a glider to understand the basics which I did eventually after a lot of duct tape to repair my poor glider. My next project was inspired by the Swiss SAAB 37 Viggen to get used to making small aircraft with EDF motors. My most recent project was a Thrust vectoring aircraft that slightly resembled a Mig 25 and an F15 combined into one aircraft. I wanted more control over my plane and i experimented with thrust vectoring by slightly moving the EDF motor to increase my maneuverability.
