Robotics, embedded systems, CAD, and clean code — focused on measurable results.
I'm a first-year Mechatronics Engineering student at the University of Waterloo with a passion for building systems that solve real problems. I focus on creating reproducible, well-documented projects that bridge hardware and software.
ESP32 sensor nodes stream readings over Wi-Fi to a Raspberry Pi hub.
XY gantry robot that draws reliably with controlled pen lift.
IoT security camera with live streaming, snapshot capture, and two-way audio.
A fully functional distributed sensor network capable of real-time environmental monitoring with a centralized dashboard.
Sole developer — designed hardware integration, firmware, backend API, and frontend dashboard.
ESP32, Raspberry Pi, Python, Flask, Wi-Fi, JSON API, SolidWorks
Ensured reliable Wi-Fi communication between multiple nodes; designed enclosures for sensor protection.
Add more sensor types, implement data persistence with a database, and deploy to a local network.
A reliable XY gantry robot that produces consistent drawings with precise pen control.
Lead designer — mechanism design, control logic implementation, and iterative testing.
VEX IQ, C++, Mechanism Design, Testing Methodology
Achieving repeatable motion with VEX IQ components; calibrating pen lift mechanism for consistent contact.
Add support for more complex shapes and explore image-to-path conversion.
A smart security camera system using Raspberry Pi with live video streaming, snapshot capture, and two-way audio communication.
Sole developer — designed backend architecture, camera integration, and container orchestration.
Raspberry Pi, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, OpenCV, ngrok, Audio Stream Controls
Pi client captures video with OpenCV and streams to a Dockerized backend. FastAPI handles event logging to PostgreSQL and snapshot storage to MinIO. ngrok exposes the API externally.
Backend functional with event logging and snapshot uploads. Next: implement mobile app notifications and complete two-way audio integration.
