Projects
Motorized Beach Wheelchair
I designed and built a motorized beach wheelchair to improve accessibility for individuals with mobility impairments. The wheelchair features user-controlled electric motors, enhanced stability mechanisms, and waterproof components, allowing independent navigation on sandy terrain. Using CAD software for design and PVC materials for cost-effectiveness, I created a functional prototype that significantly improved maneuverability and user independence compared to traditional manual beach wheelchairs, while keeping the total cost under $1,500.
EMG-Controlled 3D Printed Prosthetic Hand
I developed a low-cost prosthetic hand system controlled by muscle electrical signals (EMG), making advanced prosthetic technology more accessible. The project combines 3D printing, Arduino-based electronics, and EMG sensors to create a functional hand that responds to muscle movements. I designed custom code for processing EMG signals and implemented features like adjustable sensitivity and LED feedback indicators. The final prototype achieved basic gripping functionality for under $50, dramatically reducing the cost compared to traditional prosthetics, while maintaining key features like muscle-based control and customizability.
Electric Go Kart
I transformed a discarded go-kart into a fully electric vehicle through a complete restoration and conversion process. The project involved frame restoration with custom welding, surface preparation and painting, and integration of an electric drivetrain using a 1000W motor. I designed the electrical system using two 12V batteries in series, incorporated safety features like a battery monitoring display and charging port, and upgraded the braking system. This hands-on project taught me valuable skills in welding, electrical systems design, and mechanical restoration while creating a functional electric vehicle from recycled components.
CNC Record Player (Ongoing)
Inspired by a conceptual design, I am currently designing and machining a custom record player from a solid block of aluminum. The project showcases precision CNC machining with all components being manufactured in-house. The design incorporates versatile record size compatibility, integrated audio output with both built-in and external speaker options, and user controls including volume adjustment. This ongoing project demonstrates my skills in CAD design, CNC programming, and precision machining while creating a functional audio device from raw materials.
