This is my third — maybe fourth — iteration of my portfolio website. The last one had a water-color theme, but the allure of that theme eventually wore off. I made this website with the skills I learned in previous versions, and I think I have got to a point where my approach isn't too "hacky" and actually has some regard for the documentation.

By "chess robot", we mean both the chess engine and the physical portion of the chess robot. We're currently working on the second generation of this chess robot, which we have dubbed "Alkyne". This version features more sensors than its predecessor. This allows us to write more sensitive control-feedback loops to make our robot safer to use around humans.

People say necessity is the mother of invention; insane 3D-printer prices were the mother of this CNC mill.

Prosthetic hands, or "split-hooks" in the context of this project, operate in voluntary open (VO) or voluntary close (VC) modes. Each mode has its respective pros and cons. This project created a device that can operate in either mode with the simple toggle of a switch.

An objectively cool graduation cap. Yes, the gears do spin. This design was inspired by some number of other designs I saw while scrolling Instagram reels. While the idea isn't new, the design is original. This project prioritizes form over function.

This was our school's first year participating in FRC, which made it an exciting and challenging experience for everyone involved. As a new team, we spent a lot of time building not just a robot, but the foundation of the program itself — setting up infrastructure, organizing workflows, and learning how everything fit together.
