Projects
I designed and built a high-power model rocket that incorporated an Arduino-based custom flight computer. The computer was equipped with a barometric pressure sensor (BMP390), an accelerometer, and a gyroscope (MPU6050) to record altitude, velocity, and orientation throughout the flight. I programmed the Arduino in C++ to log flight data through an SD Card and control an onboard buzzer for recovery. The rocket’s airframe was built from lightweight composites with a PVC payload section to house the electronics.
Completed Science Olympiad projects in Electric Vehicle and Detector Building, designing precision devices under competition constraints. For Electric Vehicle, I modeled and 3D-printed a custom chassis inspired by the Tektite Electric Vehicle Kit, integrating encoder feedback and tuning drivetrain efficiency, braking, and mass distribution to achieve repeatable stopping accuracy. For Detector Building, I built and calibrated an Arduino-based ORP probe, processing voltage readings to estimate diluted solution concentrations in ppm with reliable repeatability.
The NYC High School Discord Bot (v1.4.0) is a community-focused Discord bot built to connect NYC high school students and inform prospective students through a centralized educational server on Discord. It is primarily developed in JavaScript using discord.js, with early-stage development in Python via discord.py. The bot emphasizes student connection, information sharing, and hands-on coding experience, while maintaining high reliability through hosting and monitoring with UptimeRobot. This project is open-source for showcasing purposes only and is intentionally designed for specific educational servers.
