My Work

Deskinator

Built a fully autonomous robot vacuum using CAD, custom fabrication, and Arduino programming, featuring obstacle avoidance and adaptive navigation.

Temperature Sensor

Developed a temperature monitoring system using Arduino, capable of measuring and displaying real-time temperature data and triggering alert systems when temperature exceeds present limits.

Hybrid Introduction Project

Developed a rocket nozzle system with an Arduino-controlled circuit using MOSFETs to trigger an EMatch and actuate a solenoid, while capturing real-time load cell data.
