A collection of projects I’ve been working on over the past few years, covering mechanical engineering, software, and research.
Built a content-driven engineering portfolio website to present software, mechanical engineering, and research work in one structured, maintainable platform.
Designed and built a small slider-crank mechanism that converts rotational motion into linear motion. Completed as a four-person team project involving CAD design, motion analysis, machining, and 3D printing.
Developing an ampule-based optical traveling zone method for growing Bi₂Se₃ single crystals using an Optical Floating Zone furnace, with an emphasis on process control and repeatability.
A hackathon idea originality rater that compares a team’s concept against ~65.9k past Devpost/GitHub projects and returns a similarity score plus targeted suggestions to differentiate.
An automated workflow built with n8n that pulls assignments from D2L and syncs them directly into my personal task manager, eliminating manual tracking.
Created a concise operational manual for an Optical Floating Zone furnace used for ampule-based crystal growth, consolidating key procedures, controls, and best practices into a practical lab reference.
A fully mechanical assistive key-turning device designed at the MSU Designathon to improve accessibility for users with limited hand strength.
A cross-platform garden plotting and community sharing app built at SpartaHack X. Winner of the Sustainability Track.
A lightweight keyboard-driven sketch application built in Java and JavaFX, inspired by the efficiency and shortcut-focused workflow of Vim.
