Profile
Bio
I'm an engineering student with a passion for making and design. The MakerSpace has been a great opportunity for me to work on projects ranging from musical electronics, to robotics, to medical devices. I love the fact that the space is open to people from all departments and majors. I've definitely learned more from the unique perspectives of our users than I ever could have on my own. Right now, I'm working on writing a library for generating different geometric patterns on the laser cutter, improving my team's biopsy punch design, outfitting more of our marching band with sound reactive lights, and a visually driven drum synthesizer. Feel free to email me if you want to know more about any of the projects I've worked on, or if you want to learn more about the MakerSpace. Or if you want to see what I'm currently coding, check out my GitHub!

-
The first successful engraving-a simple geometric pattern in wood -
The X-axis carriage of the engraver-Driven by toothed belt and pulley -
All the components of the engraver-Motion is functional at this point -
The X and Y axis with motors mounted-Wires have yet to be sleeved and cut to length -
Stepper driver board with 1 driver installed
- Sound Reactive Drum Lights
- Videos: Practice Session Promotional Video
-
Lighting array mid performance. The battery is holding up!
- Infinity Table
-
All of the light segments powered on for the first time -
All segments placed in frame for fit check and reflection test. Looks good!
