Projects

Unfortunately, many people suffer severe complications from delayed response to stroke, especially the incidents happening overnight. There are not many very good solutions in the market for this, so this is our project to address this in conjunction with Duke Hospital.

What if there were a device that would only allow you to drive if you are sober? Safer? Yes. Most efficient? We are trying to figure that out.

This was part of a 1-year project with the goal to create a low-cost device to monitor irrigation canals in Turkana, Kenya. We did it all from scratch and got some great results. Kenya believe it?

Part of the hands-on work for one of my classes was to create versions of common medical devices using microcontrollers and additional electronics. Here are some of the main ones.

The Transcranial magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Machine is a revolutionazing way to treat neurological disoders. However, in order to conduct clinical trials, we need to improve the user interface and experience of using this machine. Here is my work on it.

Have you ever wished you could have an easier experience typing on your smartwatches? This is our solution in partnership with Garmin.

The Ergonomics department in the Duke Health System is seeking a better way to automate the maneuver of syringes in order to decrease the number of hand injuries frequently occuring over the years. Here is how my team optimized it.

Making a LED blink using an Arduino is easy. But how about creating an analog system that blinks a LED in a range of frequencies and durations, while not using any microcontroller, and needing to design a PCB, a 3d-printed box, and adhere to other very specific constraints? Well, I guess you can say that it was a box of surprises.

Embedded systems are a big passion of mine, and exploring different microcontrollers is a fun experience. In this episode, I have created three main projects using the intriguing PIC16F833.

This is my work in designing a simple PCB and suporting the development of an enclosure in order to increase the fidelity of a device that automatically enroll students in email lists.

I am a big fan of time management, so I have used Pomodoro timer apps for a while. But I have always wanted a timer that I could physically interact with. So why not create one myself?

This has been a little project to introduce me to the world of GUI design with Python. So I hope you can check (it), mate.
Oh, wait - wrong game.

Soccer is a huge passion of mine. I love kicking stuff around into little goals, so why not count it? And have something cheer when I score a goal?
Self-motivation at its best.

It is a kid's dream to one day get a nice happy meal toy. But it is (possibly) an engineer's dream to design his or her own toy for the old Ronald McDonald. At least it was mine.

Sometimes from some classes or from being super warm in your room late at night in Kenya, you put your creativity and knowledge to the test and make up some small techy gadget to hopefully fix your problem. They are not projects that take a while, instead just quick little nuggets of fun and creativity. So here is a collection of some of them.

Computer-aided design was one of my first introductions to the world of engineering. It is a great and fun skill to have. This is a collection of some of the designs that I have done!
I feel like there is a way to use CAD in a pun, but I would need a decade to think of one.

Art is Engineering, and Engineering is Art. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.
Here is a collection of some things I print or laser cut for the fun of being artistech.
