[Knufire]

I graduated in 2013, and am going into my senior year at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. I'm currently a Mechanical Engineering major with minors in both Robotics and Computer science. I interned for Andymark during the summer of 2015. I sort of realized (a little too late) that I enjoy programming, so instead of finding an internship this summer, I opted to take classes to squeeze in that Computer Science minor while still graduating on time. I'm still debating whether I want to change that minor to a major, which will probably require a full 5th year of school.

In terms of FIRST involvement, I helped found 5188 in 2014 and served as the lead mentor for 2015 and 2016. I'm stepping back my involvement this year, hoping to get more into volunteering. I was also member of the midwest chapter of NAR (along with Nick Coussens of 2451 and Spencer Tickmen of 1747), a VEX U team consisting of FIRST and VEX alumni from all around the country.

In terms of other extracurricular activities, I decided to rush and joined the Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) Fraternity, where I served on the executive board as Treasurer. I'll also be a de facto member of the Rose Efficient Vehicles team which competes in Shell Eco-marathon, as my senior design project is to develop a new transmission for the car.
