I build things that move and think — robots that know where they are, drones that hunt wildfires, agents that stay out of each other's way, and apps people actually use. Currently studying Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech.
Selected work
Performing Arts Academy
2026The communication hub for a 90+ member music program — announcements, calendars, group messaging and web-push notifications in one place.
Maravel
2026A focus app that hard-blocks 10+ distracting sites at the OS level and forecasts your next focus block. Shaped by 12+ customer interviews.
Smiley
2025–26An offline, one-button English–Mandarin translator for an elderly immigrant client, running Whisper on-device. 10+ CAD and firmware revisions.
Wildfire drones
2025Wildfire growth prediction and autonomous drone pathing at Boeing: ≤12 min detection and ≥96% success across 10+ simulated scenarios.
Safe multi-agent pathfinding
2024–25A* + Conflict-Based Search coordinating 50 agents among 40 uncontrolled ones, with 96–99% statistical safety coverage. Co-authored paper.
FRC 3473 vision
2022–26The team's first Kalman-filter vision localization on a swerve drive — autonomous positioning error down to ≤5 cm.
Experience

About
Hi — I'm Eric, a Computer Engineering student at Georgia Tech. I started out writing robot code for FRC and never really stopped: since then I've worked on multi-agent pathfinding at USC and autonomous wildfire-detection drones at Boeing.
Lately I'm just as into shipping software people use every day — a communication hub for a 90+ member music program, a focus app built from a dozen customer interviews, and an offline translator built for one very specific (and very important) user.
