/ Featured Projects
Coursework and co-op highlights spanning embedded systems, PCB design, computer vision, and full-stack tooling.
Built a co-op wildfire response web prototype for the CRD that combined YOLOv8 vision with a Node.js and MySQL backend for field testing. Strengthened skills in computer vision integration, full-stack delivery, and real-world deployment setup.
Developed a sensor proof of concept for seaweed farming that monitored temperature and measured water flow up to 40 L/min with LoRa telemetry. Learned how to design low-power sensing and reliable long-range data communication.
Built a face-tracking gimbal using OpenCV vision, Raspberry Pi Python control, and custom 3D-printed mechanics to keep subjects centered. Strengthened skills in embedded control, computer vision tuning, and system integration.
