A selection of things I've built.
A low-cost, mostly 3D printed cycloidal actuator built around a generated cycloidal profile — an 11:1 single-stage drive that hit ~85% efficiency on the torque bench.
A custom dual-monitor stand I designed and machined to motorize my oversized corner desk — Arduino-driven, with homing, jogging, and saved sit/stand positions.
A DIY beach wake winch built for under a tenth the cost of a commercial unit — designed in Fusion 360 and fabricated over a couple of summer weekends.
My first engineering role: R&D, design, and manufacturing at a small defense company, including an NSF-backed Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing experiment for mapping soil moisture.
An RFID-gated feeder that wraps a Wi-Fi dog feeder with an ESP8266, dispensing scheduled meals only to the right dog.
A COVID-19 employee-screening system I built solo at Creare in 2020 — RFID badge-tap consoles backed by a custom MERN web app that ran the surveys and cleared people to safely return to work.
A smart, app-controlled countertop hydroponics device my team designed and prototyped through Georgia Tech's Idea-to-Prototype (I2P) program to make growing fresh, healthy food at home simple and accessible.
A browser-based 3D visualizer and motion planner for serial-link robot arms — build a chain, drive it with inverse kinematics, and export joint telemetry to help with motor sizing.
A benchmark testing how well today's LLMs can turn a dimensioned drawing into a real parametric part — streaming Gemini's output through the Fusion 360 Python API and auto-grading the results.
A 3D-printed rack that clamps to a saddle's rails and carries two extra water bottles behind the seat — built for a friend's Ironman bike and embossed with their name.
A local-first desktop study app (Electron + React + Python/FastAPI) for fast Markdown/LaTeX flashcards — with paste-in images and a spaced-repetition 'smart' review mode.
A Bluetooth-enabled photography turntable and companion desktop app for capturing 3D photos, videos, and clean product shots.
An IoT spice dispenser my capstone team designed and prototyped. I led the third and final design iteration — the swappable cartridges, their compliant attach/detach mechanism, the rotating upper stage, and most of the manufacturing.
An Onshape FeatureScript I wrote to generate custom cycloidal gear drives, plus a simplified 3D-printed model that demonstrates the mechanism.
A high-end desktop I built in 2025 (Ryzen 9 9950X, RTX 5080, 128 GB DDR5) to run GPU-heavy robotics-simulation software my laptop couldn't handle.
Experiments with electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) — moving liquid droplets with electric fields, and learning firsthand how much the dielectric layer limits performance.
A free, open Onshape document with parametric birdhouse models — pick a common New England bird from a dropdown and get the right dimensions, in two styles.
A fully 3D-printable model pinball machine — print-in-place springs and all — designed exclusively for SLS 3D printing in ME 1770 at Georgia Tech.
