Things I do

Contracted Product Development

Circuit being prototyped on breadboard I am contracted to develop both software and hardware solutions to problems for corperations. These products I develop from the ground up in my basement, drawing the circuit schematics, iterating through prototype PCBs, writing the software to interact with the hardware and external databases/APIs.

FIRST Robotics Volunteering

Troubleshooting a robot that won't connect Robotics has always been an important part of my life. I began as a student on the Benzene Bots team, and have continued my involvement by volunteering as a mentor and a competition volunteer. As a mentor, I help students develop their robot design skills and enjoy seeing their passion for robotics grow. When I attend competitions, I fill the role of a Field Technical Advisor Assistant. My primary objective is to ensure that the competition runs smoothly by addressing any technical issues that arise. I work closely with individual teams to resolve issues with their robots and get back to having fun. My passion for robotics has not faded over time, and I am excited for another great season.

Completed Projects

Project Car

Porsche Boxster with the wheel off, repairing the radiator mount I restored a 2000 Porsche Boxster.
It has a 2.7L flat 6 engine, 5 speed manual trasnmission, and a convertible top.
I replaced the main engine mount, a radiator, a fender, and a few suspension components. Then, repainted the damaged body panels and had the car inspected. It was a great learning experience for me, and I got a pretty cool car out of it.

3D Printer

I designed and built my own 3D printer. Like most 3D printers I designed it to be assembled from 3D printed parts. But I didn't have a 3D printer so I built one out of wood and some scrap polycarbonate. I used the cheap printer to print printer parts for itself to improve it's prints. After the design evolution was done I ended up with what was basically an Ender 5, so I guess those printers are pretty good.

node-dbf

GitHub npm

An efficient Visual Foxpro DBF file parser written in TypeScript.
Reads the binary from a DBF file and converts it to row objects with a event based interface.
Based on https://github.com/abstractvector/node-dbf but works without coffeescript and provides float and integer type of numbers, specifically for Visual Fox Pro *dbf files
