For Fun, I Create.
I create stories, art, music, photography, videos, and Robots. These projects are personal experiments — part exploration, part self-directed learning — driven by curiosity and the act of creating itself.
TL;DR
I make things FOR THE JOY OF it.
Robots for Fun
Over the years, my garage and home studio have quietly become a robotics R&D lab. I build expressive, low‑cost robotic platforms using 3D printing, custom electronics, and AI‑driven control systems—not just for tinkering, but as prototypes that often become the seed of larger inventions and funded ventures.
Below are some of my rover, walker, and mobility bots in action: proof of intent, vision, and execution.
Rover Sand Testing - Evaluating traction and balance on deep sand using a fully 3D‑printed drivetrain.
Printed Walker - Exploring Theo Jansen–style leg mechanics using 3D‑printed modular assemblies.
Trail Testing - Field testing in the Texas Hill Country over rocks, brush, and uneven grade.
Remote Trail Haul - Autonomous test run through serene trails—almost commercial-ready footage.
Rover Rock Testing - Testing ground clearance, torque, and printed chassis performance on rocky terrain.
Functional Testing - Real-world hauling: test loop for tweaks to drivetrain, suspension, and handling.
Payload Hauling - Beach test: loaded cooler (~50 lbs) across soft sand using custom-printed rover.
Sand Sprints - Stress-testing speed, slippage, and torque on loose sand with cooler payload.
THROUGH MY LENS
I’ve always loved photography, and today’s technology leaves no excuse not to capture the beauty around us – except pausing long enough to frame a little of its magic. Here are some select shots from my Instagram account.
Sound Experiments
I’ve always loved music — that’s one of the reasons I fell for Austin in the first place. Any night of the week, you can stumble into a tiny venue and hear something unforgettable. A year ago, I decided to push myself creatively: learn to make my own music for video soundtracks. I took Logic Pro lessons from Benji Cormack of Slenderbodies and committed to making something new every week. The result? The Ungoverables project and its first Experimental EP

FROM THE BOOK
I’ve been sketching since my mother first showed me how to draw, and I’ve never stopped. My sketchbooks are equal parts idea vault, meeting notes, and visual playground—crammed with diagrams, storyboards, product layouts, and the occasional “I just felt like drawing” moment. Here are a few pages from recent sketchbooks.
