Things I've Built
PTZ Enclosure
A weatherproof PTZ camera enclosure designed for a ground rover operating in Mojave Desert, built to read barcodes on the underside of solar panels at 2–4 meter distances. The encl…
Batmobile — Sequential Transmission
A Batmobile-themed remote-controlled car built for UIUC's ME 371 Robot Heptathlon, competing across five events: strength, speed, agility, weight, and size. The car features a cust…
Seat Edge Mechanism
Designed an adjustable seat edge extension for 5th–95th percentile users — no custom machining, no ordered parts. Repurposed a suitcase handle as the sliding extension rail. The cr…
The Caspian — Inverted Paracord Walker
Built a robot that traverses 8m of paracord inverted, without wheels or pulleys, at a minimum velocity of 2m/min. The mechanism converts rotational motor output to linear gripping …
Foldable Drone Landing Gear
Designed a one-hand-operable foldable landing gear for a 6 kg drone that reduces stowed volume by 70% at only 43g added mass. Modelled in SolidWorks, validated with static FEA in A…
LUNA v1 — TARS-Inspired Walking Robot
Built a three-legged walking robot inspired by TARS from Interstellar — working prototype in 20 days on a $150 budget. Designed the full drivetrain, motor mounts, chassis, and box-…
Drone Battery Swap Mechanism
Designed a rapid battery swap system for a covert-operations drone where deployment time was mission-critical. Created a 3-part channeling system integrating the drone chassis, bat…
UR3 Robot Arm — Image Processing and Drawing
Programmed a UR3 6-DOF robot arm to draw images at 2,000-keypoint accuracy using OpenCV for contour extraction and inverse kinematics for coordinate transformations. Developed a no…
