Trained a PPO control policy in a custom MuJoCo Gymnasium environment and achieved zero-shot transfer onto an ESP32 microcontroller. Balances continuously for over an hour on physical hardware with no additional tuning.
Designed and manufactured a custom 3D-printed modular sliding drawer system for the Ikea Billy Bookcase, featuring a low-friction rolling-ball slide mechanism, standardized unit scaling, and a magnetic flush-mount acrylic enclosure.
Designed and manufactured a custom illuminated sign of the island of Maui on a Shapeoko 3 XXL CNC router, featuring multi-tool CAM toolpaths, custom V-carve engraving, and a recessed LED lighting system.
Designed, built, and tuned custom high-performance FPV quadcopters since 2016, developing hands-on mastery in precision micro-soldering, flight controller configuration, PID loop tuning, and custom CAD airframe components.
Engineered and fabricated a custom infinity mirror LED cube from scratch, integrating 300+ individually addressable LEDs, concealed wire routing through structural acrylic tubing, and a Bluetooth smartphone controller — including hardware troubleshooting to resolve matrix voltage drop.
Engineered a multi-layer topographical map from raw GIS data through to a streamlined production workflow, fulfilling 43 custom orders with a 75% reduction in total build time and a 50% cut in CNC laser cycle time.
Built an interactive wall installation featuring 280 individually addressable NeoPixels in handcrafted wooden hexagonal frames. Programmed custom Arduino C++ firmware with hardware interrupt mode-switching, analog potentiometer brightness mapping, and multi-point 5V power injection.
Hand-crafted an illuminated wall installation translating the intricate linework of artist Vinnie Hager into physical form. Features dozens of hand-formed flexible LED segments, discrete micro-soldering, high-density concealed wire management, and DFM reflections.
A curated anthology of rapid prototypes, targeted repairs, and community initiatives — spanning CNC-machined marine wayfinding signage, reverse-engineered 3D printed adapters, upcycled laser goods, and fluid flow jug modifications.
