Call To Action
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
- Buckminster Fuller
Upcoming Projects
Affordable 7DOF Automation
Building an affordable 7-DOF system which allows for accurate and articulate movement, allowing for much broader application of automation throughout the developing sustainable world.
Solar Harvester V4
Providing local farmers with a sustainable, lower-scale, and affordable automated option for their required needs is essential to helping support the growth of sustainable agriculture.
Budget ROV
Expensive equipment should not be the limitation being placed upon pushing the boundaries of research. Creating an inexpensive ROV for surface operations could help expedite the development of wave energy.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi
If there's one thing that I learned from my experience, it's that execution should take priority over all other options. While that does not mean to be rash and crude in the approach to action, but that the action must be taken as soon as possible - no plan is perfect, and failure is essential to the path to growth and success.
​
The mistakes will come - that is no reason not to try. Just because the plan for execution isn't perfect now, doesn't mean that it isn't a plan worth executing on, even in its imperfection. In the world of sustainability, this is especially applicable. It is only through quick and rapid execution, regardless of the mistakes that we make, that we have any hope to build a future for the generations to come.
​
When a challenge or project is too daunting to undertake alone, it is a challenge that calls you. Undertake the project, and while you will fail, the growth will come. It isn't as hard as it seems, and it will be completed with enough persistence and hard work. It will hone your technical skills, build you into a more mindful individual, and create a better, more sustainable community.
​
My call to action is this: jump off the bridge, and embrace that project that was too big. Take on the project that required too many technical skills, to overcome too many political barriers, to convince too many people, and just do it. Execute on the initiative, and the final product will come better than you could've imagined.
​
I am going to pursue those engineering projects in sustainability. There are doubts about whether I have the technical capabilities, or the resources to complete the projects that I am about to embark on. But regardless of those doubts, I am going to try. It works out, and I have a project that betters my community; or it doesn't, and I have bettered my technical skills. Either way, I am on the path to build a better future both for myself and generations to come.
