Glove Control Drivetrain
For my Engineering III final project I chose to create a fun drive control system that converted hand tilts into motor speeds. Here's a video summary of what I did:

I am in the process of repackaging a CTRE Battery Beak (battery load tester) for an Engineering III project. I designed the shell to match the shape of the battery connector, replaced the button, and streamlined the shape. In my next iteration I will need to increase the clearance for
I designed a magnetic ribcage accessory inspired by one of my favorite books, Harrow the Ninth. I used a 15 AWG wire base, and built up the form with foam clay. I used very small rare earth metal magnets, embedding them inside the foam clay and sewing them to the
My FRC team has struggled to include electronics in our robot design in the past, so I extended Onshape's wiring features to be more user friendly for FRC CADers. You can see a sample robot (not CADed by me) wired with my features, in addition to my features
A collection of marker renderings I have completed for my Engineering III course! CAD links: Brandt teapot and Eames table
For my engineering class, I dissected a USB mouse, predicted how it worked, and then did a bit of research on its features!
A list of my design values I created for my engineering III class! 1. Good design should have a timeless aesthetic appeal. 2. There is no one "correct" aesthetic. Stylistic opinions will vary, the important piece is ensuring those styles are lasting. 3. Fast moving trends are not
I took a Fashion Design and Visual Thinking course at Cornell University, where I designed a capsule collection based on a trend report. I learned how to use Adobe Suite products like Illustrator and Photoshop for design, and the broadly applicable skills of trend research and designing for a target
I designed my own encoder using a color sensor, and used it to enable a motor to react to external input!
I decided to try my hand at playing the bass, but the one I had at home had a lot of noise, so I picked up the rewiring project my dad had been meaning to do. I replaced the potentiometers and capacitor, and made sure to keep the soldering cleaner
The petals are made out of aluminum foil which I hot glued to a craft wire stem.
As electronics lead, I led the team into our first two electrical-fault-free comps in recent memory, and spearheaded the team's first season using computer vision.
drawing/painting
These are some of the pencil sketches I have done over the past three years to practice capturing likenesses. Almost all of the drawings are of people at my school, and I tried my best to replicate the reference as closely as I could.
3D print
I designed and 3D printed mounts for our FRC robot's electrical components, which greatly reduced our electrical faults.
drawing/painting
I painted this 7x8 foot sign for our Descendants themed junior rivalry! I used some brick textured boards that were in the theatre shop for the base. Our technical director helped me attach them all with a wooden frame, and my friends helped fill in some of the painted areas
CAD
One of my Engineering II projects was just "make a mechanism out of 1/4 inch plywood," so I decided to make a bird wing mechanism. I planned everything out in Onshape and used an assembly to animate the motion. This was my first time animating anything in
drawing/painting
I used an inverted screen printing technique to paint a Hollow Knight shirt for my brother (the one on the right), and then fully hand painted an Arcane design on a shirt for myself (left), because after completing my custom tote project, I realized I could use fabric paint to
programming
I made a website to generate test cases for the coordinate transform code I was writing for robotics! The bulk of my work with vision this season revolved around translating coordinates (called Pose2ds) from camera relative to field relative, so I created this pose visualizer to generate the correct coordinates
CAD
For one of my first CAD projects in Engineering II we were assigned to CAD a water bottle. As a fun challenge, I tried to CAD a gator wrapping around mine, and after some trial and error with the wrap tool this is what I came up with!
crochet
For my friend's birthday I decided I wanted to make her two crochet dragon plushies inspired by the Fourth Wing dragons. After poking around online I couldn't find any patterns that had the right shape and size, so I decided I would freestyle them. I made
drawing/painting
A selection of paintings and portraits I've drawn/painted over the past few years, in chronological order! In middle school, most of my portraits were digital, and looking back on my old art style I'm not a big fan of how inconsistently blended these portraits are
crochet
Two sweaters I crocheted two years apart. The pink cardigan was my first crocheted garment, and I made it out of many many crocheted squares that I sewed together. I don't love how stiff and puffy it turned out, and I've since learned I could have
3D print
I used OnShape to CAD this 3D printed cable management system for CAN bus wires on our FRC drivetrain. These disks reduce slack, as well as protecting the wires from the swerve modules. The biggest challenges in this design were the size constraints, as well as getting the tabs on
3D print
I made this marker that transforms into a marker as a birthday gift for a friend, who had recently played Percy Jackson in the school musical. In the book/show, Percy has a pen that transforms into a sword, but there is also a line where he is trying out
