I'm a mechanical engineering grad from Oregon State who builds robots and the software that runs them. I'm drawn to problems that are supposed to be hard, where the fun is figuring out how something works and then getting good at it.
The projects below are what I've been making.
Automated material sample testing in a Civil Engineering research lab at OSU using a Kinova Gen3 robotic arm, ROS2, and computer vision — from simulation to working prototype.
Led the autonomous systems sub-team for Oregon State's Design Build Fly capstone, achieving the team's first successful autonomous test flight using an ArduPilot-based autopilot.
Built the animated LCD face and ROS2 emotion-state interface for SAMI, a servo-actuated humanoid robot developed by the BAJAN Robotics team in ROB 421 Applied Robotics at Oregon State University.
A 3D printed miniature automated double-door system with motion detection, a handmade metal detector coil, jam detection, and a full state-machine-driven control system built on Arduino.
Designed and 3D printed a 35-kit batch of snap-together joints that let kids build their own working popsicle-stick Ferris wheel, commissioned by a local child development center.
Built an automated pH monitoring and dosing system using a Raspberry Pi 4, Atlas Scientific EZO-pH sensor, and dual EZO-PMP peristaltic pumps to hold a liquid at a target pH setpoint.
