Hello there, my name is Alex MartinsdaCosta Grant. I am a Mechanical Engineer, and roboticist. I am currently finishing my final year at Iowa State University pursuing a bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. While in school I work at the Boyd lab, a machine shop that supports the mechanical engineering curriculum and completes work orders for research on campus. Minnesota born and raised I grew up in the suburbs of the Twin Cities. My strangely long middle name comes from my parents Dulcineia and Michael growing up in Campinas, Brazil.

I am a project based learner where I can directly apply my skillsets and clearly identify what needs more work. My many projects and hobbies cover a wide range of skillsets both professionally and personally with each strengthening the other along the way.

This website showcases many of my projects over the years and is a work in progress.
