Highlights

Built an underwater drone and software architecture to allow students in landlocked parts of the country to explore the ocean remotely. The system leverages P2P WebRTC with a realtime server fallback for maximum quality and responsiveness while being easy to operate. The end user needs only a web browser with a touchscreen or game controller to operate it. The drone is capable of being deployed anywhere 4G coverage exists using only a smartphone or 4G antenna. Testing our 3rd design iteration based around the BlueROV 2 underwater drone from Blue Robotics has been put on hold due to fedral funding shortages, but we hope to continue improving soon.

My Role

EcoHus is a full-built home designed and constructed by a small team of UCSC students which competed in the Orange County Sustanability Decathalon. EcoHus won best in category for innovation, energy efficiency, and water use. EcoHus integrates a host of cutting edge techniques into a self contained off-grid system that minimises environmental impacts over the life of the building while saving costs durring construction and use.

A short form game and tech demo that puts you in the shoes of a food delivery worker. Set in a future city in a non-euclidian universe. You must deliver pizza to every customer in record time to keep your moral (and income) afloat. Completed in a 1 month sprint with a team of six as part of a university capstone course. We were challenged to develop a game that incorporates concepts infinity, and as such this is an infinite labrinth of a city with infinite hunger for pizza.

My role

Developed graphics & logic programming to get the non-euclidian city layout to feel and infinite horizions working in the Unity Game engine.

For the 2020 US Department of Energy Geothermal Design Challenge, our team wanted to tackle the lack of public awareness around the potential of next-gen geothermal energy and technologies that are making it possible.

Turned the original WikiTrust algorithms into a functional MVP cross-browser extension in typescript and processing server backend in python. Our system can calculate a metric of accuracy or “consensus” for every word on Wikipedia using only the article’s revision history and author cross contributions. We hope WikiTrust will give readers & editors of Wikipedia better insight into the accuracy of statements and protect against content vandalism.

My Role

Frontend extension and page algorithms, backend API and cloud database abstraction layer.
