Combustion-Powered RC Aircraft
A full combustion-powered scale aircraft inspired by the Messerschmitt Bf 109. This project brought together CAD design, manufacturing, aerodynamics, electronics, engine testing, and full aircraft assembly.
Custom Brushless Motor Car
A handmade brushless motor car built from scratch, combining electromagnetism, Fusion 360 design, 3D printing, battery testing, and drivetrain optimization to complete a one-meter speed challenge.
Wearable Data Collector for Robotics
Built from scratch with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2, this wearable headband captures first-person video to create datasets for robotics model training. A compact project where hardware, computer vision, and robotics meet.
SO-101 Robotic Arm Learning System
A hands-on SO-101 robotic arm project focused on teleoperation, simulation, dataset collection, and robot learning. I built a custom simulator, control scripts, recording tools, and LeRobot-compatible workflows to train and test robotic behaviors.
