DIY fast-charging
An ongoing project to add DC fast-charging to my electric car, a 2011 Think City. This will shorten the charging time from 7 hours to 45 minutes and enable smaller road trips. Involved developing CAN enabled hardware and C++ firmware that meets CHAdeMO protocol and interfaces with the Think's HV battery.
The Protobot
An inexpensive, open-source and easy-to-build robot I designed for educators and students. The Protobot has been used in >12 STEM camps where students took home a Protobot after building, soldering, and programming it.​ Featured twice in local news articles:
Vintage electric car
An electric car from 1980 that I restored and upgraded. Besides fixing minor mechanical and cosmetic issues on the car, I replaced the original lead-acid batteries with a modern li-ion battery with BMS and current monitoring features that I designed, and build a custom charger for the new battery pack.
STEM Maker Clubs
The Gorge Maker Curriculum is an after-school STEM curriculum I wrote and led during my time at the Columbia Gorge STEM Hub, designed to introduce elementary students to making. The program has been successful and is now in its third year, after two years of my leadership and development.
Assistive mouse
A low cost mouse I developed to enable people with paralysis to use a computer. It has been featured or mentioned in several articles online, linked below:
SAA1099 & Arduino
The SAA1099 is a vintage square-wave music synthesis chip I wrote an open-source Arduino library for. It plays six notes of polyphony and 4 bits of volume per channel in beautiful square synthiness.

Project Invent
Worked as part of a team of high-school seniors to develop an assistive controller designed to help people with cerebral palsy play PC video games like Minecraft. We presented our device, Adaptplay, to a board of tech investors and CEOs at Project Invent's Demo day and won a $1000 prize.
