About
I am a mechanical engineering student focused on practical electromechanical systems: building, debugging, documenting, and improving real hardware. My work spans robotics, embedded controllers, sensor systems, data acquisition, CAD, fabrication, and power systems.
Mechanical Design
CAD modeling, fabrication planning, 3D printing, laser-cut design, mechanisms, and structural problem solving.
Embedded Systems
Arduino, ESP32, Bluetooth Low Energy, Wi-Fi control interfaces, sensors, displays, and control firmware.
System Integration
Combining mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems into working prototypes with clear documentation.
Projects
Selected projects and build logs covering robotics, embedded controls, instrumentation, CAD, fabrication, thermal systems, and electromechanical prototyping.
Modular Autonomous Ground Vehicle (MAG-V)
Custom ESP32-based rover control platform built from a Waveshare Wave Rover base. The final integrated system includes Wi-Fi access point control, browser interface, virtual joystick, Bluetooth gamepad mode, OLED telemetry, servo payload control, ultrasonic radar-style sensing, relay payload actuation, onboard battery monitoring, and emergency-stop logic.
Hybrid Solar and Hydrogen DAQ Station
Data acquisition and monitoring system for a hybrid solar and hydrogen charging station concept, including voltage/current sensing, thermocouple inputs, display hardware, IoT communication, and system-level instrumentation planning.
BLE Wheelchair Controller
ESP32-S3 handheld controller concept using Bluetooth Low Energy, push buttons, OLED feedback, and Nordic UART Service-style command handling for a compact assistive control interface.
Double-Pipe Heat Exchanger Project
Mechanical engineering heat transfer project involving heat exchanger theory, experimental setup, data interpretation, and presentation development.
Project Help / Collaboration
