Personal project where I am making a working (airsoft) version of Jinx's Minigun from the series Arcane and the game League of Legends.

Small personal project where I attempt to use the genetic algorithm to try to find the most optimal exalted team composition in TFT.

Final Design Project at Cal Poly where I worked with three other mechanical engineering students to design a remote operated land rover. I led the development of C++ code for the robot, which included methods for synchronous BLDC motor control and wireless command transmission.

In this project, I worked with another student to design a 2.5 DOF Nerf Gun Pen Plotter that uses nerf darts to draw pictures on a white board. I focused on the implementation of the code in Python, mechanical design of the robot, and experimentation with the OpenCV library to detect and shoot at the color red.

Class project where I collaborated with another student to design code in Python to balance a ball on a tilting platform. I focused on implementing drivers to interface with different sensors, a PID controller, and a method to filter the data.

I worked with another student in collaboration with Lockheed Martin to investigate the effects of common defects in 3D printed materials on their mechanical properties. I was responsible for designing test coupons with specific defects of interest, conducting tensile tests, and I also wrote a Matlab script to streamline data analysis.

After losing to my friends in a Wordle competition, I wrote a Matlab program that would help me win.
