Perspective

Earth is where humanity’s story began, not where it should end. I envision a future where autonomous robots pave the way for human settlements beyond Earth, laying the foundations for a starfaring civilization and expanding the scope and scale of human consciousness among the stars.

Projects

Building the machines behind the SI future.

Robotics, autonomy, and RF, engineered from hardware to software and tested in the real world.

SEP 2025 - MAR 2026

VEX VRC Team 77245B DeusVolt

Competitive robotics from first build to regional qualification.

Co-founded VEX Robotics teams 77245A and 77245B. Worked on electromechanical design and CAD, assembled the robots, and diagnosed and repaired problems under time pressure between matches.

Built, wired, and integrated drivetrain, intake, and lifting mechanisms for two VEX V5RC robots, contributing to a finals appearance at Katy Love of the Bots and qualification for the Texas V5RC High School Region 3 Championship.

Modeled and revised motor mounts and structural components in Onshape, correcting clearance conflicts discovered during assembly before final robot integration.

Diagnosed and repaired motor, wiring, and control-hardware failures between matches, restoring robot operation for subsequent competition rounds.

Electromechanical Design

Connected motors, wiring, and control hardware, then tested each mechanism on the finished robot.

CAD and Mechanical Design

Used Onshape to model robot parts and plan how each mechanism would fit. Updated designs when parts interfered, did not fit, or failed during testing.

Project Leadership

Co-founded the robotics team, helped get it approved, and coordinated the design, construction, and programming work.

Robot Programming

Worked with teammates to write and test C++ control code for the drivetrain and robot mechanisms.

I had the privilege of teaching Minh Khoa, and I was consistently impressed by his energy, enthusiasm, and passion for STEM education. He is a highly motivated student with a natural talent for robotics, algorithms, and technology-driven problem solving. What distinguishes Minh Khoa is his ability to look beyond theoretical concepts and think about how technology can be applied to solve real-world problems. He approaches challenges with curiosity, creativity, and determination, always looking for ways to improve and innovate. During the VEX Robotics competition, Minh Khoa was one of the leading members of the VEX VRX Team. He demonstrated strong technical skills, teamwork, and leadership while contributing meaningfully to the team's success. I have no doubt that Minh Khoa will continue to grow and make a positive impact in the fields of robotics, engineering, and technology. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, driven, and forward-thinking young STEM enthusiast.
