I am a mechanical engineer, combat robot builder, and small business owner. After earning my B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Rochester, Class of 2019, I started working as an engineer. Shortly after, I started a YouTube channel dedicated to combat robotics: Team Just 'Cuz Robotics, where I'm creating robotics-based tutorials and videos documenting my own bots. I built up my YouTube channel while working full-time at a couple of different companies, and in 2021, I founded Just 'Cuz Robotics, LLC as a side hustle. This eventually grew to become my full-time job in April 2023. Just 'Cuz Robotics continues to provide awesome YouTube content, alongside a growing list of over 100 products and even full robot kits.

Here are a couple of my best videos.
I invented the first ever "built for combat" hubmotor for spinner bots, which debuted in 2024
One of my latest and greatest products, the smallest and lightest drive motors for 3lb combat bots!
Just 'Cuz Robotics started with PD boards like this one, making it simpler than ever to wire your robot.
This was an early design of my 30lb combat bot called Conduit which I competed with at Motorama Robot Conflict 2019.
My first ever combat robot, which competed at the Motorama Robot Conflict event in February 2018.
This was my first major metal CNC milling project using the Tormach PCNC 1100, a 12-pound combat robot called Draconid
I also made a personal electric vehicle as a demo for the 2018 Rochester Maker Faire, which was a big hit with the kids in attendance.
