About

Soon to be Mechanical Engineer by university standards. I am often hacking, making, running (when I'm in shape), traveling (when I have money), and occasionally blogging. Currently, located in Kyoto, Japan on co-op. I will be graduating in May of 2020 from the University of Cincinnati (if you're hiring, feel free to connect with me).

EstysDesu Meaning

For about six months during college I took the oppurtunity to internship abroad in Japan. This experience has had a significant impact on my life and who I am today. Estys desu (エステスです) is Japanese for "I am Estys." Whereas, Estys is just a combination of my last and first names. I've adopted the Japanese meaning to symbolize that I am the accumulation of my life experiences.
