8x8x8 LED Cube

Soldered 512 LEDs into cube shape and created controller using ESP32, and 9 74HC595 shift registers to control 72 transistors, allowing an external 5V DC power supply to power each LED on or off
Soldered components to prototype PCBs and connected to the cube with ribbon cable
Wrote low-level firmware that uses multiplexing to achieve efficient control over each individual LED based on its coordinate position.
Programmed several cube animations using tools like queues to control sequential falling of "rain drops"

Robot Arm

Designed 3 DOF robotic arm and controller case using Solidworks, and assembled it using MG90 servos, MG996R servos, and potentiometers controlled by an Arduino Uno
Completed several design iterations to create a functional robot arm
Soldered custom PCB to connect circuitry
Implemented a queue to provide record/playback functionality

Designed and programmed a robot using LEGO Mindstorms components and LEGO EV3 brick to hold Connect 4 tokens
Read the state of a Connect 4 board, and move around to play the game
Designed mechanisms for movement, token dropping, and color sensor operation
Collaborated with a team of four, and distributed programming tasks to create a RobotC program that could control the robot and make smart decisions about where to play
Used 2D arrays extensively to create an algorithm from scratch that could decide what the best move is based on the current state of the board
Presented ideas in formal presentation, and communicated the prototype in a technical report

Raspberry Pi 4 + camera providing real-time foreign text translation and image recognition of popular landmarks
Flask front end allows users to choose between text translation and image recognition
Live camera feed captures images of popular landmarks, which is identified by OpenCV, and then Google Gemini provides an informative read-out using Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API
Text translate feature uses OpenCV to read text, Google Cloud Translate and Text-to-Speech to read it out loud

Soldered necessary components to flight controller and assembled body of drone
Installed and configured firmware on flight controller using Betaflight, tuned motors with PID control and adjusted settings to optimize flight performance
Successfully performed RC transmitter and receiver binding, and adjusted various controller settings

3D printed modular robotic arm with MG966R and MG90S servo motors.
Implemented Google Speech Recognition API to receive input and used IBM Watson TTS service for intelligent replies
Facilitated MongoDB database to add and edit customer user-defined commands to control arm movement
Utilized serial communication between Arduino and Raspberry Pi 5 to integrate AI model with mechanical control

Aided with assembly of robot made to complete FIRST Robotics competition game for 2025
Assembled drive train and arm mechanism for raising and dropping game piece
Collaborated with other students and used drill press, chain tool, and horizontal band saw, to complete a remote controlled prototype
