Projects
Things I've built and shipped
A mix of hardware and software, research and product. Some flew, some glowed, some moved a whole airline cabin. Each one taught me something about turning a fuzzy problem into a working system.
Building a Patent Bar Practice Site
I wasn't going to pay $3,000 for patent bar prep on top of the exam fee. So I built my own practice site — real past exams, drills, and a way to track whether you're actually ready.
Building an E-Paper Digital Picture Frame
A low-power digital picture frame built on a Raspberry Pi and a 7.5" e-paper display. It auto-syncs photos from Google Drive, refreshes hourly, and boots straight into slideshow mode.
Launching the Allegris Seatmap
As Product Manager on the Gordian team, I helped lead the €2.5B Allegris seatmap rollout for Lufthansa — a major cabin overhaul focused on luxury and personalization.
Droneye: System Design
The system design of my year-long senior capstone: an autonomous, low-cost drone system that humanely diverts mammalian pests like squirrels and possums from backyards.
Droneye: Project Management
I led our startup-styled senior capstone as project manager. Here's how we defined, visualized, and executed a vague, ambitious problem from the PM seat.
Fractal Analysis of Coral Colonies
Distinguishing coral species with today's rigid taxonomy is a frontline reef-conservation problem. We propose a continuous trait — fractal dimension — and a toolkit to compute it.
Challenges in Quantum Dot Solar Cells: Ambient Air
An approachable overview of how quantum dot solar cells work, where they stand today, and the challenges they face — framed through the lens of the transistor revolution.
