Latest Project
A-Eye Animatronic Chatbot
I was always interested in animatronics. When scrolling on YouTube, I saw a video of a pair of small animatronic eyes. I knew when I saw this video that I wanted to make a scaled up version of the project using a different motion system. Inspired by the concept, I set out to build a full voice-interactive AI assistant with realistic eye movement. Instead of basic servo twitching, I engineered a smooth, cosine eased motion system for the eyes and eyelids, creating more lifelike expressions. I integrated speech recognition, text-to-speech, and ChatGPT to enable natural, real-time conversation bringing the animatronic character to life in both motion and personality.

My Projects
Open-source 3D Printer Designs and Code
I design and build custom low-cost FDM/FFF 3D printers, often experimenting with unique motion systems and configurations. My GitHub repository showcases a range of machines I’ve created or modified, along with the resources and files needed to replicate or adapt them. Whether you're an experienced maker or just starting out, my projects are built to be accessible and versatile, offering something for anyone interested in DIY 3D printing.

Robotics
I was a member of FTC Team 9384 throughout high school, serving as Team Captain (2022–2023) and Co-Captain (2023–2024). I led CAD design, coached at competitions, documented our mechanical systems, and assembled the engineering portfolio each season. Beyond team responsibilities, I helped organize outreach events and fundraising efforts. Now, even after graduating, I continue building robots independently — designing, machining, and programming custom systems on my own. My GitHub and GrabCAD profiles include ongoing projects and documentation of the work I’ve done both in and out of FTC.

Computers and Programming
I started building computers in the 8th grade. Since then I have built over 10 PCs. I will include the builds I am most proud of along with some software projects.
