Student engineer & builder

I build practical devices and prototypes that solve real problems.

I create hardware and software projects that make everyday life a little better. From Arduino devices and custom 3D-printed parts to science experiments and product prototypes, I enjoy taking ideas from sketchbook to reality.

Selected builds

Projects

Four hardware builds across two project lines — a maze-navigating robot and a small electric vehicle — each iterated through more than one version. Open any build to see the process, not just the finished photo.

v2 Demo Orange 3D-printed robot car with an extended front guide arm and an Elegoo Arduino Uno.

Robot Tour v2

Build on Robot Tour v1 by adding a front guide structure to reach and align with targets more reliably.

An Arduino-driven maze robot rebuilt with a wider 3D-printed front guide and reworked wiring. Demo clip included.

Electric Vehicle v2

Make a smaller, tidier electric vehicle platform than v1 with a self-contained 3D-printed body.

A compact two-wheel-drive vehicle on a custom printed chassis, wired around an Arduino Uno and a breadboard.

About

A maker who learns by building the next version

I'm a student engineer and builder. I like problems I can hold in my hands — things that move, sense, or react — and I learn fastest by getting a rough version working, then improving it.

Most of what I make sits where electronics, code, and fabrication meet. I sketch an idea, wire up a prototype on a breadboard, print the parts I need, and keep revising until it behaves the way I pictured. The versions on this site (v1 → v2) are exactly that process in the open.
