I'm an ECE student at NYU Tandon, class of 2028. Most of my time goes to Rogue Aerospace, NYU's hybrid rocket team, where I handle radio and telemetry. I also take photos and run a small web design business for local companies.

Photography
Portraits, street, and travel
I shoot events, portraits, and street photography on a Sony a7 IV. The full set is on the photography page.
Web design
Sites for small businesses
Since 2022 I've built websites for local companies: responsive HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with search metadata and contact forms, deployed through Git and Netlify behind Cloudflare. So far that's three small-business clients.
If your business needs a site, email me and tell me what you have in mind.
