What I’m Building

I’m interested in how engineering and design can solve real-world problems. Here are some of the areas I’m actively exploring.

Weather & Flood Monitoring

Collecting and analyzing rainfall data to better understand local weather patterns and their implications for flood control and infrastructure planning.

Structural Engineering Explorations

Studying how bridges and buildings distribute forces, and exploring how design decisions impact strength, efficiency, and safety.

Architecture & Design Thinking

Exploring how architectural design influences functionality, aesthetics, and the way people interact with built environments

Music Thrives Initiative

Building a platform to support and showcase young musicians through performances and community engagement.

Engineering Explorations

I document my learning across different areas of civil engineering and architecture through observations, analysis, and small projects.

Water Resources Engineering

My interest in water resources engineering began with a simple question: how does rainfall translate into real-world flood risk?

Structural Engineering

I’m interested in understanding how design choices affect strength, efficiency, and safety.Read More

Transportation Engineering

I am interested in understanding how roads, highways, and public transit are designed and how engineering decisions impact traffic flow, safety, and accessibility.Read More

Architecture

My exploration focuses on understanding how design choices such as layout, materials, and structure affect both performance and usability.Read More

Music & Performance

Alongside engineering, I am an active trumpet player. Music has taught me discipline, focus, and the importance of precision skills that also shape how I approach engineering problems.

I recently recorded some data from my personal weather station that was very odd for this time of year. During…

I’m a high school student interested in civil engineering and architecture, with a focus on how infrastructure systems can be designed to be more resilient and efficient. I enjoy exploring real-world problems through small projects, research, and observation. Alongside this, I am an active musician and founder of Music Thrives.
