Welcome

Hi, I’m Lucas.

I am a student at Bioscience High School who enjoys combining creativity and problem-solving to make my ideas real.
I’m passionate about programming, design, and leadership.
My goal in life is to make lots of money by having lots of fun.

As the Control Systems Lead on Dragon Robotics 2375, I’ve honed my leadership and technical skills. In this role, I mentor new team members and take charge of critical tasks like wiring and programming the robot. I am always eager to learn more and expand my abilities, which is why I’ve completed Harvard’s CS50 course and participated in a pre-college program at Wentworth Institute of Technology. I also had the unique opportunity to experience a foreign exchange program in Japan, where I lived with a host family and immersed myself in a new culture.

Outside of academics and robotics, I’m a big hiker, an avid music lover, a regular at the gym, and enjoy creating both digital and physical art. I’m constantly exploring new ways to express myself and develop my skills in a variety of areas.
