'i miss my cafe' is a study tool inspired by i miss my cafe and i miss my library. Content is structured in HTML and styled with CSS, JavaScript enables dynamic audio controls for ambient sounds and seamless interaction with task lists.
All sound effects from Freesound and background from VectorStock.
SolidWorks assembly of an abacus. Beads are mated and constrained to the frame to slide up and down freely.
The Pomodoro Timer is a productivity tool created using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This web application helps users manage their time effectively by breaking work into 25-minute intervals, separated by short breaks.
The user interface, designed with HTML and styled with CSS, features customizable timer controls and background themes. JavaScript manages the timer functionality, enabling dynamic countdowns, interval management, and interactive buttons.
This remote controlled car was built using an Arduino Uno as the microcontroller, coupled with an L298N motor driver and an HM-10 Bluetooth module, and powered with a 9V battery. It uses two DC motors to propel the car forward, and an MS18 servomotor for steering. The chassis and axle were designed in SolidWorks, and act as a frame to house all of the circuitry and mechanical components. The car is controlled using Bluetooth via the BLEJoyStick iOS application.
For my third year design class, my team was tasked to create a medium fidelity prototype of a rehabilitative hand device. This device is intended for people with hemiparesis, or limited mobility/paralysis on one side of the body. This device can be used by occupational therapists or users at home to help regain mobility in their fingers.
The device consists of a motor attached to four rubber cords, which each attach to a finger (excluding the thumb). The mechanical portion was designed in SolidWorks and houses all of the circuitry. When the motor retracts, rubber cords slowly pull the fingers to a 'curled' position. Resistance and force in the cords are recorded and output on the Arduino IDE serial monitor.
In May 2023, I joined Electrium Mobility, one of my school's many student design teams. Electrium's goal is to create sustainable and affordable transportation in the form of personal electric vehicles, and my team was tasked with the mission of building an electric bicycle from scratch.
Our team of 15 spent our summer writing firmware, assembling mechanical components, and designing circuitry for the system. Firmware was written in C++ script for the operational controls, integrated with a DRV8833 motor. The bike frame and circuit/battery housing was modelled in SolidWorks, and aluminum pipes were purchased to weld the frame together.
By August, we were able to build a fully functional electric bicycle with the ability to reach speeds of up to 32 km/h.
During my internship at Attest Laboratories, one of my tasks was to build an 8-pin header to USB-C adapter, for compatibility between the MPLAB® PICkit™ 4 In-Circuit Debugger and a USB-C cable. I designed and built the adapter in KiCAD, and during the design process, I iterated on the adapter's layout to ensure optimal signal integrity, compatibility, and compactness.
In December 2021, I decided to participate in KuriusHacks' Christmas Hackathon with a team of 4. Over the course of four days, we created a two-player collaborative platformer game in Unity using C# scripts, built as a WebGL project.
The game includes a standard main menu, volume settings, a platformer section, and a Tic-Tac-Toe minigame.
As my first project in my first computer-aided design class, TARDIS was my first step into the world of 3D modelling. Using Onshape, I created this replica of TARDIS to immerse myself into the fundamentals of CAD, while also tapping into my passion for science fiction.
By recreating such a recognizable object, I aimed not only to develop my technical proficiency but also to cultivate my creativity in interpreting and translating real-world objects into digital form.
This project implements the board game Othello in C#. It is a two-player game where players take turns placing their discs on an 8x8 grid, aiming to 'capture' opponent discs by sandwiching them between their own discs.
The game features player input for moves, interactive gameplay, and score tracking. It also includes functionality to check for valid moves, change turns, and determine the winner based on the number of discs captured. The program is designed to run without compilation into an executable file, using the .NET Core SDK for direct execution in a console environment.
This Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate validity checker program was created for Stars Technologies Services. It is a useful tool for monitoring SSL certificate health and ensuring secure website connections.
The program reads URLs from a 'websites.txt' text file, then checks their SSL certificates. It categorizes URLs into three lists: expired, expiring soon, and non-existent. Otherwise, the expiry date of the certificate is printed.
The results are generated in a 'results.txt' text file. The script uses the 'requests', 'socket', and 'ssl' module to perform the SSL certificate checks.
