[ MECHATRONICS / COMPUTER ENGINEERING ]
Designing the intersection of robotic hardware, embedded firmware, and the data systems that hold them together.
SELECTED PROJECTS
PROJECT 01
A polar CNC sand table driven by a custom SVG-to-G-code converter, ESP32 firmware, and Python serial bridge for live pattern streaming.
PROJECT 02
A real-time object detection and retrieval robot running a fine-tuned FOMO model on ESP32-S3, with ultrasonic sensing and UART inference feedback.
PROJECT 03
Electrical/Embedded systems lead on a fleet of "smart" blast gates for the SHED Wood Shop. Closed-loop positioning, broadcast UART protocol, and locally-computed flow balancing across nodes — no central controller.
PROJECT 04
Fully CADed, 3D-printed analog joystick tank platform. Custom H-bridge driver built from P-MOS / N-MOS for all four motion states, with HC-05 Bluetooth and I²C telemetry.
EXPERIENCE
ABOUT / PROFILE
[ 003 / FROM THE ENGINEER ]
I'm a dual-degree engineering student at RIT, splitting my time between Mechatronics and Computer Engineering Technology. Most of my work lives in the seam between physical hardware and the firmware that keeps it honest — motor control, sensor fusion, embedded ML, and the protocols holding them all together.
I've shipped projects in three countries — automated parcel sortation at USPS Atlanta, NOX module testing with Toyota in Tokyo, and a few hundred Wood Shop students in Rochester. I like systems that are clean enough to explain in one sentence, and stubborn enough to survive the real world.
Outside of school I run the SHED makerspace as a mentor, tutor multivariable calc & physics, and tinker on whatever robot I can fit in a carry-on.
