Engineering curiosity.
Building practical solutions.
Mechatronics engineering student at the University of Auckland, exploring the intersection of software, electronics and mechanical design.
01 / Hands-on exploration
From control loops to physical prototypes.
A selection of completed and ongoing work.
Robotics / Physical prototyping
Built a system to collect two tennis balls at different heights and deliver them into a hole across an unstable bridge.
Combined an Arduino Uno, motor controllers, DC motors and a breadboard through coding, wiring and soldering.
Robotics / Control systems
Programmed open- and closed-loop systems, including P and PI controllers, to guide a VEX robot through tasks on a predetermined track.
Electronics / Mechanical design
Built a Hall-effect-sensor-based motor system, with a folded metal base, laser-cut acrylic case and hand-soldered circuit board.
Software / Web application
Developing a SaaS website that lets Instagram users compare their following and follower lists to identify accounts that do not follow them back.
Assistive technology / Concept
Planning a glove-based system to translate New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) into audio, bringing together sensing, software and physical design.
02 / Sharing knowledge
Experience helping students understand challenging subjects and feel at home at university.
