About

Hi, I'm Joshua.

I'm a first-year Aerospace Engineering student at UC Berkeley with several years of hands-on experience in embedded systems, custom PCB design, and experimental rocketry.

I like building the whole stack myself: the airframe, the flight computer, the board it runs on, and sometimes the process used to make that board. I'm especially interested in autonomous aerospace systems and hardware development.
