MicroMoog involved the complete design, 3D printing manufacturing, and coding of a custom replica of the MiniMoog. Designed after the MiniMoog, a pivotal synthesizer invented in the 1970s , I created custom circuit boards, 3D printed custom designed housings and key mechanisms, and coded the analog synthesis for this project. Coded on a Teensy 4.1 with an Audio Shield, I used mixers to create poly sounds to create warm fat synth voices just like the original MiniMoog!

Full year project designing and building a robot aimed at minimizing the time between harvest and packaging by bringing the apple grading process onto the field.

For the 2022 WPI NASA Big Idea Challenge, the team was tasked with developing an innovative rover locomotion system. I led the design and CAD efforts, where we incorporated a novel capstan mechanism for enhanced power augmentation and control into a 6-body rotating structure.

Check out the video to my left for a look at the projects I've worked on and to learn more about me!

As part of FRC team 4557 Full Metal Falcons based in Xavier High School, I led the CAD team to systematically design a modular system for challenge years 2018-2020. With the introduction of CAD to our previous design methods the team excelled into forward prototyping, which accelerated our design season!

Custom designed and built 3D printed quadruped controlled using animation software Blender. All trajectories mapped and synched in real-time allowing for infinitely intuitive robot control.

Currently working to integrate LiDAR sensor for environment mapping to world all still within Blender!

Custom 3D-printed voice coil actuators strike real drumheads, controlled by Ableton for live performances. Inspired by speaker drivers, the system drives a shaft for real-time drum hits with adjustable power, speed, and timbre—capturing the dynamic expressiveness of a human drummer.

This custom 3D-printed BLDC motor features steel inserts to enhance magnetic flux for improved performance. Three versions were developed: one optimized for high torque, ideal for heavy-duty applications, and another designed for high RPM, reaching speeds up to 3400 RPM for fast, dynamic use. The custom design leverages 3D printing for precision, with steel inserts providing the necessary flux boost for both power and speed variations.

Using high-torque hub motors from old hoverboards, I rigged up a dual-drive pulley system for a go-kart frame, controlled via an ESP Wi-Fi app to adjust speed. This setup delivers strong performance and allows for real-time speed control through a mobile app, providing a powerful and customizable driving experience for the go-kart.

This custom 3D-printed saxophone MIDI controller is designed for silent practice in a highly compact form. Modeled to the exact specifications of my Yamaha saxophone, it replicates the feel and key layout for an authentic playing experience. The MIDI controller allows for versatile sound control while maintaining a quiet, portable design—perfect for practicing without disturbing others.

Custom 3D-printed self-folding quadruped robot. The design is highly compact, featuring modular legs with working unfolding mechanisms and adaptive walking gaits. The system has been tested at three different heights, each altering the walking patterns for improved adaptability. Powered by 12 servos and controlled via Arduino, the robot demonstrates efficient movement and versatility in various configurations.

Excellent sounding speakers designed from scrapped speaker drivers. TPU 3D printed housings were fitted to pvc to create a bass reflex chamber delivering a surprising amount of low end along with clean high end through a diy internal crossover.
