Hello, I'm Uri.
I'm a student at Tappan Zee High School and intend to pursue a career in computer science, a field in which I already have considerable experience. When it comes to work, I’m highly self-motivated — not because of external pressures, but because I genuinely love what I do. I learn fast, enjoy mastering new topics, and always push myself to improve. I look forward to working with you.

Projects
As part of Project Invent, I worked on a four-person team partnered with Mosaic Senior Living to address senior fall risk. To help seniors safely retrieve objects without bending, stretching, or reaching, we developed an electrically powered assistive grabber.
Unlike traditional grabbers that rely on the user's grip strength, our design is fully joystick-controlled. The joystick extends and retracts the telescoping mechanism, rotates the claw, and toggles the grip, allowing users with limited hand strength to operate the device easily. The grabber extends from 12 inches to over 30 inches using a custom telescoping lead screw system and features a servo-actuated claw with flexible TPU fingers for adaptable gripping.
The device was primarily 3D printed, with only essential hardware components such as motors, a microcontroller, wiring, screws, and threaded inserts sourced separately.
My role was the mechanical design, CAD modeling, prototyping, and 3D printing of the telescoping mechanism.
