Featured Projects
Entropy Zen Garden More Details
- Designed, fabricated and programmed an automated zen garden that draws mesmerizing designs in sand
- Designed in Autodesk Inventor, Applied GD&T to all drawings
- Programmed using GRBL, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi
- Machined using in-house woodshop, 3D printers, and laser cutter
Artisan Bait Launcher
- Coordinated a small team to develop a device that projects fishing bait further than casting by hand and with more accuracy
- Facilitated communication and resolved conflict within team while managing deadlines using a Gantt chart system
- Designed CAD model and analyzed forces in spring and motor system using simple kinematics
LED Delta T
- A sound reactive fixture that responds to music with LED's to create an interactive lightshow with wireless functionality
- Managed a team of 4 to manufacture under a tight budget and turnaround time of 7 days
- Designed engineering drawings and delegated work to team members
6DOF CAD Mouse
- A device that helps users interact with CAD models in a more efficient manner, with inputs being interpreted using matrix multiplication
- Manufactured for 80% less than the cost of a commercial 3dConnexion Mouse
- Handles precise inputs and is compatible with all CAD software
Arcade Machine EOH 2024
- Development and production of a child-friendly arcade machine for the 2024 Engineering Open House at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Implemented evidence-based design heuristics in the design
- Stores over 500+ ROMS that are easily accessible to the user
Mini Mine Sweeper
- Built during the 2024 UIUC Hackathon for the 36 hour John Deere Hardware Hack
- This autonomous robot searches and marks unexploded ordinance for removal using machine vision
- Designed to be cost-effective and easy to manufacture using additive manufacturing
Date Dog
- A desktop app that fetches all your assignments from various platforms and puts them in one place. With Date Dog, you wonβt ever have to shuffle through dozens of class websites and syllabuses to find when your work is due.
- Developed in Python using the Beautiful Soup, Selenium, and Tkinter libraries to scrape homework data from websites
- Has a built in GUI that features a to-do list for individual classes or an overall list as well as a calendar export option thats compatible with Google Calendar and Outlook
DnD Initiative Tracker
π Hall of Fame
Recognized as one of the best student projects in the Fall 2024 CS128 Honors course.
- A desktop app that helps dungeon masters automatically track and sort initative during combat
- Developed using Rust, this app features a GUI built with Slint which allows users to dynamically filter, add, and remove tabular data
- Autofills monster data from a database of 2000+ monsters and autorolls initative using their initative modifier
Candy Cruiser
- Tasked to design a walking dispenser that dispenses 5 objects every 200 cm with a $100 budget
- Employed knowledge from CS courses to programmatically model and simulate over 1000+ iterations in a CMA-ES optimizer to minimize cost while achieving criterion
- End deliverable dispensed all 5 objects with accurate spacing (ΞΌ=200.2 cm , Ο=3.12 cm) while only using $29.78 (cheapest in class)
Trampoline Optimization
- Implemented cosserat rods (1d slender rods w/ bend, twist, stretch, and shear) to model a trampoline on an N-sided frame
- Used genetic algorithms to simulate thousands of iterations in order to maxmimize bounce while minimizing total rod length
- Minimized runtime of each generation through parallelization of each iteration.
