    Projects

    An interactive tool for exploring UW-Madison courses, using embeddings for optimized search and recommendations. Visualizes course prerequisites through a requirement DAG, provides historical grade distributions, and integrates Rate My Professor data for professor insights. Finalist (Top 4) out of 400 participants at Cheesehacks 2024

    Designed a modular, ergonomic custom mechnical split keyboard with a detachable macropad, rotary encoders, and an OLED display, optimizing comfort and efficiency for developers.

    Designing and implementing automatic localization and edge detection algorithms to generate tool foam insert cutouts for manufacturing applications.

    2024 Crescendo:

  • •Developed Advanced Localization System: Engineered a robust odometry system operating at 250Hz and vision-based localization at 50Hz using AprilTag technology, integrating Kalman filtering to optimize real-time positioning accuracy. Deployed a comprehensive telemetry and logging suite to support data-driven decision-making during matches.
  • •Lead design and fabrication of a complex 3 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) Pivoting-Elevator-Wrist mechanism, paired with a custom shooter system.

    • 2023 Charged Up:

  • •Transitioned the robot’s drivetrain to a high-performance 4-module coaxial swerve drive, taking charge of the drivetrain’s development, integration, and optimization, which significantly improved maneuverability and on-field agility.
  • •Proactively took over the responsibilities of the original design lead when their other commitments limited their contributions. Designed a 2 DoF arm with a pneumatic manipulator and award-winning TPU grip.

    • 2022 Rapid React:

  • •Developed and tuned a 4-motor differential drivetrain, enabling full autonomous functionality during auto periods.
