Projects & Proof-of-Concepts
Some of my passion projects, extracurricular activities, and classwork. Anything that I'm proud of goes here!
Currently building
Peer-to-Peer Direction-Finding Compass Device
Jan. 2026 - Present
A handheld device that uses LoRa radio and GPS to point you toward your friend in crowded, infrastructure-free environments like music festivals. Custom FreeRTOS firmware on ESP32-S3.
Completed
/dev/secret: Minix Character Device Driver
Mar. 2026
A character device driver for Minix 3 that provides secure, owner-gated secret storage between processes, written entirely in C against the kernel driver framework.
Lightweight Process Library
Jan. 2026
A small user‑level threading library written in C with a round‑robin scheduler.
Autonomous Mobile Robot for Human Detection and Red Object Tracking (aka “The Bull”)
Nov. 2025 - Dec. 2025
An autonomous mobile robot that detects humans, recognizes red objects, and follows a target in real time using stereo vision and onboard AI.
DuckWild Wildlife Tracking System
Sept. 2025 - Mar. 2026
A low-power wildlife monitoring system that uses on-device computer vision and a LoRa mesh network to detect and identify animals without relying on cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity.
Wireless RGB Lighting Control System
Jul. 2025 - Sept. 2025
Designed and implemented a BLE-based wireless RGB lighting control system during an internship at NZXT, coordinating two RGB peripherals from a single central controller while investigating EMI/RFI performance inside a PC enclosure.
Bare Metal Digital Camera
May. 2025 - Jun. 2025
Built a STM32-based digital camera by integrating camera, LCD screen, and SD card storage.
Reliable File Transfer Protocol Built On (Unreliable) UDP
May. 2025
Built a reliable file transfer protocol on top of UDP using a Selective Reject sliding window. The project includes a client and forked server that handle packet loss, reordering, and corruption via checksums, cumulative ACKs (RR), targeted NACKs (SREJ), and an EOF/ACK teardown.
