About Me

Not much to say so far; I am a first-year student at Duke University and am planning on obtaining BSE in Mechanical Engineering with an Aerospace Engineering Certificate (but who knows, it's all up in the air at this point). I like making robots and stuff, and have been involved with BattleBots for the last six years of my life. I also like CAD/CAM and am certified with Solidworks and Mastercam.

Name Pronunciation

It's kinda tricky with the Portuguese pronunciation (don't know why my last name is Portuguese when I got it from my Cuban father, but that's another story), but I'm not too picky, so yo-PEES or yo-PEACE are more than fine.
