Hello, my name is Angelo
I'm a mechanical engineer from New York City.
Experience
Created multiple different 3D printers using different motion systems and custom software configurations.
Participated in 2 First Robotics teams
FTC team 9384 (2022-2024)
FRC team 333 (2021-2024)
Captain of team 9384 during the 2022-2023 season
Co-Captain of team 9384 during the 2023-2024 season
Led the CAD division of team 9384 from 2022-2024

Open-source 3D Printer Designs and Code
Beginning in 2005, the open source initiative "RepRap" started the rise of low-cost FDM/FFF 3D printers that are self-replicating. This concept revolutionized the accessibility of 3D printing technology creating movements within communities and among individuals. Today 3D printers are affordable and are embraced by enthusiasts who build these machines. My GitHub repository includes resources showing machines I have created and modified. This repository is a platform on which anyone can use and base their projects. Due to the diverse motion systems and printer configurations I create there is something for everyone.
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC)
The FIRST Tech Challenge is a robotics competition for students in high school organized by FIRST Robotics. Teams have around 3 months to design, build, and program a robot that competes on a field with set challenges. FTC encompasses engineering skills and allows students to reach out into the community and make change through events organized by students within the team. On top of this students fundraise and generate money for the team. During my high school career, I was on FTC team 9384. I was my team captain in 2022-2023 and Co-Captain from 2023-2024. On top of this, I led the CAD team, coached the team during competitions, documented the mechanical work on the robot, and organized a portfolio to show the work we did each season. All of this can be found between GitHub and GrabCAD.
