NICE TO MEET YOU

I’m from Waterloo, Canada, and now I live in the beautiful city of San Francisco. I’m a passionate and creative person with a background in engineering and materials science. I love finding ways to make people’s lives more fun and enjoyable.

When I’m not working, I love to explore the world and discover new things. I take lots of photos, tinker with gadgets, read books, go for bike rides, and find ways to enjoy the weather.

PROJECTS:

Pic Basic Pro, 16-bit microcontroller, Traxmaker, Soldering

The LED cube is a 5x5x5 array of LED's controlled by a PIC16f887 microcontroller. Persistence of vision (POV) is used to light up individual rows in order to prevent interference, and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is used to control brightness. Buttons allow for different patterns such as rain, vortexes, waves, and pulsing.

BASIC, Solid Edge, Circuit Design, Microcontrollers, Transducers

The Sumo Bot is a robot designed to push other bots out of a sumo-style ring. IR sensors are used to detect other bots, and phototransistors are used to detect the ring's white edge. A custom H-Bridge is used to step-up the motor's voltage to 12v for increased speed.

AutoDesk Fusion 360, ARDUINO, MasterCam, 3D printing

The Voice Module was developed under the supervision of Dr. Sean Peterson in the Fluid Mechanics Lab at the University of Waterloo. An anatomically accurate model of a human vocal tract was 3D printed and assembled with a simulated silicone tongue to provide insight into how humans create vowels and recognisable sounds from the vibrations of vocal folds. An ARDUINO and amplifier control the volume and frequency of a glottal waveform.
