I'm an Electrical Engineering student at the University of British Columbia, interested in robotics, power electronics and hardware — from PCB design, controls, and firmware, to CAD and 3D printing.
Projects
6-Axis Robotic Arm
A 6-DOF robotic arm designed from scratch: CAD, 3D-printed mechanics, closed-loop stepper control, and a Python GUI with real-time forward/inverse kinematics over WiFi.
Coin Picking Robot
A remote-controlled, metal-detecting robot built for UBC ELEC 291 with an inductor/oscillator sensor, H-bridge motor drivers, dual-MCU communication, and an electromagnet pickup mechanism.
