IDEAS INTO HARDWARE & SOFTWARE

MECHATRONICS & EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

Quadcopter from scratch

Built a quadcopter from scratch using Arduino, brushless motors, a wireless camera, and Zigbee communication. A hands-on project bringing electronics, embedded programming, and mechanical assembly together.

  • Arduino
  • Brushless motors
  • Wireless camera
  • Zigbee

Integrated the Arduino-based electronics and brushless propulsion system with a wireless camera and Zigbee communication. The build connected individual hardware and software components into one mechatronic system.

INTERNET OF THINGS /

Simple Smart Room — IoT

Built a Raspberry Pi-based system to collect temperature and humidity data and control room lighting. Set up a server with InfluxDB and Grafana to track environmental changes over time.

  • Raspberry Pi
  • IoT
  • InfluxDB
  • Grafana
  • Sensor data

Used Raspberry Pi to collect readings from temperature and humidity sensors and control the room lights. Stored sensor readings in InfluxDB and visualized them in Grafana dashboards to monitor trends over time.

FRONTEND & USER EXPERIENCE

Signal

A minimal interface that makes complex information feel approachable.

  • JavaScript
  • CSS
  • Accessibility

Placeholder project. Explain who the interface serves, how you approached accessibility, and what you learned from building it.

03 / A LITTLE CONTEXT

The Person behind the system.

I'm a mechatronic engineer, curious about the hardware and code that make things work.

My experience spans production machinery, medical equipment, and software test automation, connecting hands-on engineering with software development.

I enjoy investigating unexpected behavior, simplifying repetitive tasks, and sharing what I learn. Always looking for something new to understand, learn, and build.
