The Session Trigger
A high-speed laser-triggered camera system to capture split-second action in sports. A laser beam paired with a light sensor detects interruptions, which are processed by an ESP32 microcontroller. The signal is then transmitted via RF24 wireless modules to a second ESP32 that drives the camera shutter. This two-board setup keeps the sensor and camera independent, reducing latency and allowing flexible placement. The result is a compact, purpose-built tool that combines optics, embedded programming, and wireless communication for precision high-speed photography.
The Smart Box
A smart mailbox prototype that detects when new mail is delivered and notifies the user in real time. Using ESP32 microcontrollers with HC-12 RF modules, the system monitors sensors inside the mailbox and wirelessly communicates with an indoor receiver. The mailbox can be unlocked either through an integrated RFID system or remotely via a custom web app, blending hardware with full-stack development. All housing and components were 3D printed, making the project a complete integration of microcontroller programming, wireless communication, web development, and rapid prototyping.
1975 Honda CB200
A restored and customized a 1975 Honda CB200T from the frame up, transforming it into a reliable and modernized classic. The project included sandblasting and powder-coating the frame, rebuilding the engine with new pistons, rings, valves, and gaskets, and upgrading the carburetors, intake, and exhaust. Suspension and controls were overhauled with new fork seals, shocks, cables, levers, and handlebars, while the electrical system was modernized with a regulator/rectifier combo unit, new ignition components, battery, and LED lighting. The build blended mechanical restoration, electrical re-engineering, and design customization, showcasing skills in precision assembly, problem-solving, and hands-on fabrication.
Smart Greenhouse
This smart greenhouse system using a lightweight frame kit, and is powered entirely by solar. Capacitive soil moisture sensors and temperature/humidity sensors were integrated with a Particle Photon IoT device, which connected to the internet and relayed real-time greenhouse data to a mobile app via the Blynk console. This project combined solar-powered electronics, sensor integration, IoT hardware, and mobile app connectivity to create a sustainable, data-driven approach to small-scale agriculture.
