Learning to look closer.

I’m a competitive rower, but the part of the sport that stays with me longest is often a question: why did that stroke feel different?

As I’ve spent more time rowing, I’ve become increasingly curious about how technique shapes performance. Small changes in posture, timing, or joint position can affect how efficiently force is produced—and where stress lands on the body.

During training, I began paying closer attention when technical problems, muscular imbalances, fatigue, or injuries affected performance. What started as an effort to improve my own rowing gradually became a wider interest in biomechanics and injury prevention.

Movement as a system

01

Which joints are contributing?

02

How is force moving through the body?

03

What changes under fatigue?

Curiosity in progress

I’m still learning. That is the point.

Conversations with coaches and trainers encouraged me to think about movement as part of a larger system, rather than simply deciding whether a technique “looks right.”

That curiosity led me to experiment with video-based movement analysis and pose estimation. I’m interested in how computer vision can track joint positions and reveal patterns that are hard to notice in real time. Technology cannot replace a coach, trainer, or medical professional. It can offer another way to see.

What I care about

01

Being a dependable teammate

02

Asking better questions

03

Building things that help people see more clearly

04

Improving through patience and repetition

05

Making technical ideas useful
