The projects I've built with more information on request.
Gut Health Monitor
Started a company that gave dietary feedback from the on toilet sensor.
From user feedback, we changed the form factor several times
with the shown version being an early design.
I had to wear many hats on the project. From the computer to the pitch deck I did consumer outreach,
pitching, science validation, full stack development, and ML.
Brokered Aircraft Sales
Brokered for an old VTFF (Vertical Takeoff, Forward Flight)
aircraft design to be sold to OEM aircraft manufacturers.
Got the deal down the line as far as getting in front of the DoD Innovation Unit.
Had to prepare the old files and gather the designs in a cohesive story told to potential buyers.

Pipline Integrity Device
Lead design iteration and testing of an MVP device to retrieve integrity monitoring equipment.
With my co-owner we got the device in the field with Chevron which led to securing $200k in seed funding.
Baby Monitor
Me and our team created a device that detected when a baby's diaper needed changing and would notify the parents. The IoT device strapped to the side of a crib.
While never making out of the protype phase it was my first crash course into combining disciplines from biology to web dev to hardware.
Power Supply Board
Used Eagle design software to create a power supply board for a PCB design class.
AIAA Build Design Fly Competion
Currently in the process of designing a 6ft RC plane to compete in Arizona at the end of the school year with both domestic and international teams.
I'm leading the 20 person team to design and meet all mission requirements as efficiently as possible.
Robot Creation
Designed and created a robot to use Open CV on a Raspberry Pi and a PID controller an an Arduino Uno, to navigate a maze of ArUco markers.
Custom Shirts
In the effort to get my engineering firm off the ground, we created custom shirts to become cashflow positive.
While nothing technical, I learned what building a brand meant to people.
