my projects.
Heron Labs — Agami
Problem. Fixed sampling locations leave gaps in our picture of changing river conditions.
Solution. Agami is a semi-autonomous surface vessel that collects GPS-tagged nitrate, conductivity, turbidity and temperature measurements while travelling through waterways.
My contribution. I co-founded Heron Labs and led major parts of Agami's technical development: the analogue and embedded sensing stack, ESP32 firmware, LTE/GNSS telemetry, GPS navigation, web-based monitoring, electronics integration and iterative field testing.
VEX Robotics
Worked on a competition robot with the VEX Robotics team, helping us reach a peak ranking of #1 in Europe during the 2026 season. We went to the World Championship in St. Louis after raising the money through sponsorships and even speaking on 96FM.
Firelight
An educational platform for robotics, built while working at DogPatch Labs, with the aim of making robotics more accessible to students.
Grandson AI
An AI assistant designed to help grandparents use their laptops without needing someone else to guide them through every step.
Edith Glasses
Bone conduction glasses merging hearing aid functionality with wireless audio. 3D-printed custom casing integrating PCB from repurposed AirPods for seamless audio experience.
Red-light Green-light
Real-life recreation of the Squid Game challenge using computer vision. Revised C++ vision training model to run on ESP32, tracking player movement during 'red light' phases. Integrated with custom laser tag vest that activates when motion is detected. Built in 32-hour hackathon.
Murdle App
A daily whodunit challenge app inspired by Murdle by G. T. Karber.
