starts; SPEED = seconds per label. Once it starts it plays to the end on
its own — scrolling away won't stop it.

Optimized SAR spiral
Modelled the flight path for a search-and-rescue drone with a parametric optimized spiral considering wind drift and ocean current.
10 years of violin in the Celtic and folk fiddle style. I comfortably play 20+ numbers and enjoy jamming with others.
Web Design
Designing and coding interactive web experiences — this portfolio included — with motion-first layouts and custom scroll-driven animations.
Philosophy
“
Exploring moral ethics through our school's philosophy club, TOK class, and English coursework — the one place where the assignment is to take a question apart in public and let someone talk you out of the position you walked in with.
DRAFT COPY — rewrite this in your own words. It carries into the engineering more than I expected. A search-and-rescue drone is a moral object as much as a technical one: who it is for, what it costs, and what happens when it gets the answer wrong. I would rather have that question in the room while the thing is being designed than answer it afterwards.

First-principles thinking only matters once it flies.
03
Document everything
Future-me and the next person inherit the project.
