About me

Hey! Welcome to my brand new site!!! It's so brand new that there isn't much content yet... I'm working on it! :-D

Here is a video of the Omni-directional Vehicle (ODV) I worked with at the IIT Robotics Lab:

My Skills

Wow so many skills!!! ;-) ... Come back soon to find out where all of these skills came from...

Note: The scale used on these dials is a bit ambiguous and somewhat non-linear. Let's say something along the lines of:
100< Expert >95
94< Experienced >80
79< Proficient >60
59< Novice >45
44< Classwork / Getting Into It >0
