About

I build skills through work, sports, and making things.

I’m a senior at Vandegrift High School in Austin, Texas (Class of 2027). I like hands-on projects (cars, engines, mechanical systems), I’m focused on safety and shop fundamentals, and I’m learning how to turn ideas into real outputs—starting with this website.

Discipline, consistency, and effort—on the field and off it.

Team and service

  • Neighborhood clean-ups: helped organize and take part in local beautification projects.

How I work

  • Safety first: follow procedures, take direction, keep the work area organized.
  • Learn by doing: build, test, iterate, and improve.
