Projects

You can find research projects here. I'm currently a part of MIT's Solar Electric Vehicle team and SIPB, write-ups on what I end up doing there are coming soon.

Rambots FTC Team (#17384):

In high school, I helped co-found my school's First Tech Challenge team. The First Tech Challenge is an international robotics competition centered around an annual game. It includes designing and building a robot able to complete game tasks in a remote-controlled and autonomous mode. Throughout my three years leading the team I led the mechanical and electrical sides of development and assembly. I was also in charge of team finances and most of the administrative work. If you're curious about the engineering work that went into it, I did a short write-up for each season below.

Skystone (2019-2020)
Ultimate Goal (2020-2021)
Freight Frenzy (2021-2022)

Roboup Junior - Soccer Open:

In 2019 I worked on another robotics team. This one competing in Robocup Junior's Soccer Open competition. This competition required teams of 4 people to build fully autonomous robots to play soccer with a orange hockey ball. I did a short write up about my work here.

Signage:

I spent much of the summer of 2022 working for my old high school. Most of the work I did involved making ADA-compliant signage for their new facility. This meant spending substantial time with a laser cutter, cutting out dual-layer signage. As well as 3D printing little chips with braille dots. The hardest part was finding a way to do braille that wasn't extraordinarily expensive as due to heavy patenting most methods are. It wasn't a complex project but was at a pretty large scale (several hundred signs total).

I also worked on redesigning some of the electrical circuits in their new facility, making sure the things they'd install would actually be usable.

Ham Radio:

I'm unsure how much I would classify this as a project but I currently hold a Ham Radio license (technician class) from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). My call sign is KC1UAY. I currently use a Baofeng UV-10R as a transceiver, mostly due to it's low price-point.

COVID Symptom Screener:

I never made a formal write-up or even a GitHub repository for this project. The reason was that the code was written both quickly and poorly. It's not a project I can be proud of on a technical level. It was also fully reliant on a combination of proprietary pieces of software. I wrote all the code in a few days over the lockdown and had it tested by some classmates and faculty at my High School. The system issued access passes and compiled reports on data from daily COVID symptom screenings it sent out. The system ended up getting approved for use by our school's medical advisors. It was deployed to all students, faculty, and staff for the entirety of the 2020-2021 school year.

3D Models:

A lot of the projects I've worked on have involved 3D printing. I figured that some of them may be useful to others, so I've uploaded them to Prusa's Printables. I primarily use Fusion 360 for designing models for 3D Printing and CNCing. I'll probably switch to SolidWorks or Siemens NX at some point.

Code:

I'm not sure how many of the repositories I've worked on are public. However, if any are please feel free to check them out here.

Kosher Explained:

Kosher Explained is a series of articles I wrote to help demystify the various standards of Kosher. I made it because when I came to MIT people kept asking about it. Most of those people were genuinly curious and many were asking to better be able to accomidate a Kosher diet. You can read the articles here.
