Curriculum Vitae
Want a deeper dive into my experience, projects, and qualifications? View my full CV below.
Imperial Unibots Founder
I started 3 national competition teams at Imperial, managing over 50 engineers. My main team
is currently the top team in the entire country,
winning its first entries in Edinburgh and Cambridge, and finals in London. I worked on all
aspects from mechanical design and manufacture using fusion 360 to
designing and soldering our electronics and custom PCB.
Furthermore, I programmed the
local autonomity and computer vision system to track it's global position, obstacles and
most effectively collect and deposit the target objects, focussing on all possible
edgecases(all of which eventually triggered), giving us a landslide victory.
After each competition, we iterated upon every single weak point our robot had, resulting in
getting over 3x Second place(oxford Uni)'s score
Node Note
Node Note is a hybrid brainstorming system that bridges the gap between physical and digital collaboration for teams working across in-person and remote settings. This was my Human-Centered Design Engineering project at Imperial, aiming to solve the issue of the gap between physical and digital brainstorming workflows for hybrid teams. It pairs a set of Wi-Fi-connected touchscreen tiles—each running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W with a dial, button, and magnetic pogo-pin connectors—with a web-based Map Space that syncs every idea in real time, so people can brainstorm by hand the way they would with sticky notes while remote teammates see and organise contributions as they happen. This involved a full end-to-end product development process, from user research and data collection, through to ideation and product design and manufacturing.
Modular Robot
My A Level DT Coursework started off as a simple plant monitoring and watering system but I took this further by implementing advanced mechatronics to create a modular robot capable of navigating complex outdoor environments and performing various tasks related to plant care. It's fully modular with a swappable electronic cartridge system on the back to add new functionality.
UKROC Team Lead
Led a small team of 4 to design and build a rocket for a UK Rocketry Competition. Ran CFD simulations and implemented a modular, repeatable system to allow for quick iteration and testing of different strategies. Created a custom avionics board to log flight data and a swappable payload cartridge to protect our egg as securely as possible.
3-DOF CNC Whiteboard
An E-ink display alternative that evolved into a large scale whiteboard capable of precise drawing using threaded rods and 3D printed components.

Tracked Robot Swarm
Created tracked robots that communicate via a central server to coordinate movement and tasks. Iterated on the design to increase track reliability and reduce costs.
First Order Robotics
Lead Mechanical Engineer collaborating to design and build 6 Ai powered competition-ready robots for RoboCup SSL and swarm robotics research.
ICRS Card Scanner
Upcycled and programmed a custom ID card scanner for the Imperial College Robotics Society (ICRS) out of an old Skylanders portal of power. The system reads student ID cards and authenticates users in order to print on our 3D printers using a custom Ocra Slicer build. The whole system is animated for extra cool points.

Custom Laptop Modification
I designed and built a custom cooling modification that has boosted CPU performance by 42.5% from its
factory stock condition while maintaining the laptop's slim 11.2mm profile and portability.
Initially, I repasted the Intel i5-1240P’s cooler with high performance thermal paste and added
thermal pads between the copper heat pipes and laptop’s base to use the base to dissipate heat more
effectively than the built-in fan. This resulted in a 20% performance boost, but the plastic
composite of the base struggled to conduct the heat efficiently.
I used Fusion 360 to plan and laser-engrave the sections for removal from the bottom of my laptop
before cutting them. These cut-outs corresponded with high-temperature components. To keep my laptop
portable and prevent damage to components when undocked, I replaced the removed plastic with .5mm of
copper due to its high thermal conductivity and used thermal pads to bridge the gap and conduct heat
to the surface of the base. Even without any help from external cooling methods, there was a 28%
improvement just from the heat dissipating into the surrounding environment.
In order to push it to its limits I constructed a laptop stand to hold two 140mm desktop PC fans at
an angle, wired directly to a 12V power supply. With this addition, I achieved a 39% performance
increase and after adjusting the CPU's power limits to prevent it from generating unmanageable heat,
I finally reached a sustained 42.5% performance improvement over the stock configuration.
Despite the significant improvement, there is still potential for more. I plan to take it further
and eliminate any further thermal limitation by adding more heatsinks inside the limited interior
space and upgrade the inbuilt fan.
