Bio
Hi, I'm Kevin, and I'm from Cupertino, California. I graduated from U.C. Berkeley a few years ago with a B.A. in Physics, and I now work as an Electro-Optical Engineer at Lockheed Martin Space. I have experience in high-level electrical design, database management, and spacecraft operations. In my free time I practice wushu and taiji; I compete internationally as a member of the U.S. Taiji Team. I play the piano and ukulele, as well as the board game weiqi/go. Recently I've begun competing in pole dance.Project ideas
The Scale of Space
Interested in space? Retrace the steps of Copernicus, Newton, and Kepler to understand the motion of celestial bodies and build a model of our Solar System. Start from observable phenomena and use fundamental mathematical principles to precisely determine the distances between each planet and our sun. Then use a medium of your choice to create an accurately scaled model!
Beginning Martial Arts
Always wanted to learn martial arts but can't find a good teacher nearby? I've been practicing and teaching Chinese martial arts for quite some time, and I'm more than happy to help you learn a form! I have experience teaching at all levels of experience, including complete beginners with no experience in any sport, so the only thing you need to come in with is a good attitude.
