Currently building
Work
Hardware, embedded firmware, robotics, and systems work selected for recruiters.
Computer Vision
A real-time computer vision tracking platform using YOLO, a Kalman filter, PID control, a Teensy, and motorized pan-and-tilt hardware.
Approximately 60 FPS tracking
PCB Design
A custom Arduino Nano PCB that measures USB voltage and current using an INA219 and displays readings on an OLED.
Custom two-layer KiCad PCB
PCB Design
A heart-shaped KiCad PCB built around an ATtiny402, USB-C power, a 3.3 V regulator, and LED indicators — with a browser-ready GLB for interactive 3D viewing.
Custom heart-shaped board outline in KiCad
Computer Vision
A quadcopter platform controlled by hand gestures through a computer-vision pipeline — mapping detected poses to flight commands in real time.
Hand-gesture recognition for flight commands
Power Electronics
A custom six-step sensorless BLDC controller using back-EMF zero-crossing detection, PWM commutation, dead time, current sensing, and temperature protection on a Teensy 4.1.
Six-MOSFET three-phase inverter
Software
A multi-agent cloud-security incident-response platform built during the NVIDIA x ASUS Hack-a-Claw hackathon.
