Work History
Robotics Team Member
VEX Robotics
Indianapolis, IN
11.2016 - Current
During my eight years competing in Vex Robotics, I learned how to be a part of an innovative team, building, programming, notebooking, and designing aspects of the robot each season. In 2023, my team won the largest robotics competition in the world, the Vex Robotics World Championship. I also started an educational YouTube channel to tutor robotics teams that lacked resources and mentorship, gaining my team international publicity and recognition in the VEX Robotics community. In my last year in the sport, I wrote and compiled a 664-page engineering-style notebook, recording all the stages of our design process throughout the season.
