My Projects
Ho-Ho-Hacks
Used Java libaries to create a battle royale game that mimics Yoho-Ho-Ho. I worked to create the game logic and the UI.
Computational Modeling: Predicting the Optimal Launch Angle for a Parabolic Projectile
Created a computational model in Java to predict the optimal launch angle for a parabolic projectile. Used kinematics and physics principles to create the model.
3D Printed Robotic Finger
Designed and 3D printed a robotic finger that can be controlled using a servo motor. Used Arduino to control the servo motor. Aditionally, I used a potentiometer to control the angle of the finger. Finally, I made the finger autonomous by training the finger with a 3D convoluted neural network.
