I am an Electrical Engineer currently hailing from Washington state. I recently graduated from the electrical engineering program at Western Washington University.

For my capstone project I designed, built, and tested a radio system called the Resilient Active Deployment Antenna Relief (RADAR). I was inspired to choose this solution to disaster communication after my dad was caught in the 2015 Nepal Earthquake. The earthquake that rocked my fatherland was a massive 7.8 magnitude quake. The shaking brought down homes, World Heritage sites, cell towers, and infrastructure. The public quickly tuned into the radio to hear important updates during the crisis.

The community and resilience that was carried through the radio waves inspired me to create a two-way radio that can be airdropped that will help carry that message of resilience.
