3D Printers
Voron V0.2990
This 3D printer is a machine from the Voron design team with my modifications. I sourced my base machine back in 2023 and have recently finished it with all its modifications in 2024. The only stock portion of this machine is the extrusions that make up the frame and the y-axis gantry system. I have added a custom-made tool head, an RGB panel, a camera for AI monitoring of prints, a custom-made back panel for electronics cooling and easy access to the motherboard, an auxiliary cooling fan, a carbon filter, new screens, a temperature sensor for the print chamber and a filament runout sensor. This printer is extremely reliable, and fast and is my go-to workhorse for small prints.

Delta 3D Printer
After buying a used Tevo little monster from a friend, I decided to gut all of the old motors, electronics, effector, and portions of the motion system to increase ease of use, speed, and rigidity. This machine features a high-speed effector using carbon fiber rods as struts a direct drive extruder a phaetus rapido hotend with integrated CPAP part cooling, a new gantry system featuring closed-loop stepper motors (servo motors), a touch screen, and 3D printed belt tensioners. In theory, this machine is one of the fastest in the world due to the complex motion system, motors, and light effector.

Zero G Hydra
After graduating high school, I decided to treat myself by buying parts to upgrade my Ender 5 Plus. This printer was the first one I purchased at the beginning of 2022. Due to this, the printer began to show its age. Luckily I discovered a way to revitalize this 3D printer into a more modern machine through open-source mods. The only thing I kept stock is the frame of the machine. The electronics, motion system, tool head, bed assembly, and tool head sensors are modified to improve speed, cooling and reliability.

Robots
Coaxial Swerve
Once entering College, I began to miss building FTC robots. Due to this, I decided to make FTC-sized Coaxial Swerve Modules. While planning the idea my former team member Abdullah created a prototype. We decided to work together to make a better, cheaper version. The vision for this project is to make small form factor coaxial swerve drives competitive for FTC. Once we prove our swerve drive is a viable option we plan to begin selling them.

"Simple Swerve" Differential Swerve Drivetrain
Originally a passion project, "Simple Swerve" was created to simplify the bill of materials and building process of team 11115 differential swerve modules. However, when starting this project I ended up re-designing almost all of the parts of their original modules to fit the parts I had in-house. I adapted their old modules to use newer motors, re-created the gearbox itself to use bolts to retain the gears instead of shafts, and changed the case of the gearbox itself.

FTC team 9384 2022 - 2023 Robot "Crabby"
This robot was created for the First Tech Challenge game "Power Play" from team 9384. This robot went through 3 major renditions but its final one allowed my team to be placed 9th during the New York-NYC CHAMPIONSHIP during the season. This robot uses a mechanum drivetrain to achieve omnidirectional movement, 2 sets of linear slides to reach the highest pole allowing the robot to deliver cones to it, an intaking mechanism that pinches the cone, and a turret base that all the mechanisms sit on to allow for the robots sub-systems to rotate without the chassis needing to move. Together all of these mechanisms allowed our robot to be extremely fast when scoring and maneuvering. The final CAD of the robot can be found by clicking the GrabCAD icon below.

9384 2023 - 2024 Robot "EggWUUUHH"
This robot was created for the First Tech Challenge game "CenterStage" from team 9384. The robot went through 4 major renditions but when completed it allowed my team to be semi-finalists during the New York-NYC CHAMPIONSHIP during the season. This robot features a custom-made mechanum drivetrain for omnidirectional movement, 2 sets of custom-made linear slides, an active intake with 3 stages of roller wheels for accurate intaking with an additional pinching mechanism for picking up pre-stacked pixels, a pivoting outtake with a pincher for accurate out taking, a pivoting drone launcher, and a winch based climber. All of these sub-systems allowed our robot to move and score extremely fast.

Computers and Software
2012 Mac Pro restoration
My dad gave me this Mac due to it being very slow and outdated. Instead of letting it go into an E-waste bin, I decided to modernize it. After some cleaning and software modifications I installed MacOS Sequoia, Windows 11 and Linux. I am running these Operating systems on separate SSD's allowing for a triple-boot setup. I use this machine for programming and school work but it can be used for so much more.

AI Chatbot
I always wanted to utilize AI in one of my projects however I never had a good reason to. I still don't have a particular use case but I wanted to figure out a way to run a chatbot locally on my computer and have it respond to me talking to me like Siri. Even though I don't have a use for this script at the moment I may find a way to implement it into robots that have operating systems like Linux built into them.
