I’m a 4th year mechanical engineering student with a focus in manufacturing and process design. I’m always looking for opportunities to work in interdisciplinary teams and problem-solve. This semester, I’m particularly excited to prototype and explore improvements for machine feedback systems and initiate actionable solutions for user efficiency and safety.

My name is David Trujillo. I am currently a first-year Mechanical Engineering student at Georgia Tech interested in machine design and developing innovative solutions to engineering challenges. I am also extremely interested in research, and I look forward to further studies both on and off-campus.

Owis Sambas is a second-year mechanical engineering student with a passion for hands-on creativity. He enjoys working on personal projects in makerspaces and is part of the Smart^3 makerspace VIP program, where he explores innovative solutions and builds new skills.

Connor Priest is a 4th year computer engineering student from Suwanee, Georgia. Outside of school, he enjoys running, being outside, watching college football, and traveling. On the VIP team, he worked with AWS to create data pipelines that receive external data from a Raspberry Pi and place it into a DynamoDB table. He has gained lots of skills in AWS and Python that he has been able to use in internships and classes. One of his favorite parts of the VIP has been working with people across different majors to collaborate and solve problems in the makerspaces at Georgia Tech. It is extremely rewarding for him to see the projects he worked on solve current real world problems. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/connor-priest-772954220/
