Engineering, with the decisions left in.

Embedded instrumentation & electrical measurements · 2026

Pico 2 W EE Lab Tool

How can a compact bench tool measure real circuits and make the limits of each reading visible?

Built

Five operating modes on a Pico 2 W, with an INA219, OLED display, Wi-Fi dashboard, and experiment logging.

Evidence

The integrated prototype was verified on hardware. Documented RC time constants are 1.076–1.079 s, with calibrated voltage and independently checked shunt current.

Boundary

The latest Source Test guard and replacement OLED driver still need device rechecks. Fault monitoring reports conditions; it does not disconnect power.

Project context

A hands-on electrical engineering tool that connects circuit theory, sensor calibration, firmware, and measurement integrity.

Power Quality Lab

How can sampled AC waveforms reveal power-quality problems?

Built

A Python waveform lab for RMS, power factor, frequency, sag, swell, and no-load classification.

Evidence

Deterministic synthetic waveforms, explicit classification thresholds, and a public unittest suite.

Boundary

Simulation only. ADC quantization, isolation, harmonics, calibration drift, and electrical safety are not modeled.

Project context

It turns sampled voltage and current into reproducible engineering evidence while documenting the gap between simulation and a safe, calibrated physical instrument.

Power systems & controls · 2026

Microgrid Controller Simulation

How should a microgrid serve demand when solar, battery, and grid power have limits?

Built

A deterministic dispatch controller with state-of-charge, battery-power, outage, and grid-import constraints.

Evidence

A unittest suite and inspectable dispatch decisions with explicit energy-balance error and unserved load.

Boundary

Supervisory simulation only. Voltage dynamics, reactive power, protection, thermal behavior, and communications delay are omitted.

Project context

It makes each dispatch decision inspectable and reports unserved load instead of hiding an impossible energy balance.

Embedded networks & security · 2026

CAN Bus Anomaly Lab

How can unusual CAN traffic be explained through inspectable rules?

Built

A defensive traffic simulator and rule engine for identifiers, timing, payload ranges, and rolling counters.

Evidence

Synthetic benign and anomalous traffic, explainable rule findings, and a public unittest suite.

Boundary

No physical CAN connection. Static rules can miss slow or context-dependent attacks and need system-specific calibration.

Project context

It demonstrates transparent embedded-network monitoring without transmitting frames or connecting to a safety-critical system.

Responsible AI & backend systems · 2026

Trailhead Customer Support API

How can a support assistant help without inventing policy or business authority?

Built

A FastAPI service combining Claude conversation, policy retrieval, deterministic tools, and structured escalation.

Evidence

Tests mock Claude; CI runs the test suite and Ruff. Responses expose citations, tool use, and escalation decisions.

Boundary

Read-only fictional business demo. Customer email is a demo authentication stand-in; no refund or cancellation is actually performed.

Project context

My role: System architecture, backend implementation, policy grounding, and validation

It demonstrates how model-driven conversation can stay bounded by tested authorization, business rules, citations, and clear production-safety limits.

Responsible-technology tools · 2026

Browser privacy mini lab

A guided, device-local activity that explains cookies, permission prompts, tracking protection, and what private browsing does—and does not—change.

It gives students a safe way to inspect common privacy controls without collecting personal data.

Project context

It gives students a safe way to inspect common privacy controls without collecting personal data.

Responsible-technology tools · 2026

Accessible forms review card

A one-page checklist for keyboard flow, labels, errors, contrast, motion, and plain-language consent in online forms.

It turns an abstract accessibility goal into a repeatable pre-launch check.

Project context

It turns an abstract accessibility goal into a repeatable pre-launch check.

Responsible-technology tools

Privacy settings starter checklist

A simple checklist for reviewing account visibility, permissions, contact sync, and notification defaults on new apps.

It turns privacy awareness into a repeatable first-step habit instead of a vague intention.

Project context

It turns privacy awareness into a repeatable first-step habit instead of a vague intention.

Responsible-technology tools

Source verification workflow

A lightweight process for checking authorship, evidence, recency, and context before reusing an online claim.

It reduces accidental misinformation by making verification visible and easy to repeat.

Project context

It reduces accidental misinformation by making verification visible and easy to repeat.

Responsible-technology tools

Peer support mini library

A shared collection of short guides and links for classmates working through digital safety and study-tool questions.

It lowers friction for asking questions and helps good digital habits spread through the group.

Project context

Responsible-technology tools

Responsible AI use guide

A personal guideline for when AI can support drafting or brainstorming and when it needs stronger human review.

It keeps efficiency from outrunning accountability, especially when work may influence others.

Project context

It keeps efficiency from outrunning accountability, especially when work may influence others.

Secure IoT learning map

A visual study path connecting sensors, networks, authentication, firmware updates, and the human consequences of insecure connected devices.

It connects my electrical engineering interests to security decisions across an entire device lifecycle.

Project context

It connects my electrical engineering interests to security decisions across an entire device lifecycle.

Explorations and planned work · 2026

Calm technology dashboard

A planned experiment that shows useful device information without competing for attention through urgency, streak pressure, or noisy alerts.

It explores whether a dashboard can inform people while still respecting their focus.

Project context

It explores whether a dashboard can inform people while still respecting their focus.

Explorations and planned work

Intentional screen-time audit

A weekly review of the apps, habits, and triggers that pull my attention away from meaningful digital work.

It helps me separate useful digital activity from passive consumption and redesign my routines.

Project context

Consent in digital spaces campaign

A planned set of short visual reminders about reposting, tagging, and sharing screenshots responsibly.

It frames consent as an everyday digital habit, not just a rule people remember after harm happens.
