I am a Junior at LSU for Mechanical Engineering. The goal of this website is to display my current projects as well as log little bits of information I found helpful. I plan to also add previous projects since freshman year of college.

Motivation

A newly acquired 3d printer, a starter arduino kit, and an interest in robotics. As my Spring 2026 semester began I aimed to use my free time to utilize these three things in one cohesive project.

I created a simple yet intentional 3 degree of freedom robotic arm that cost less than $30 to reproduce using Fusion360 for CAD and Arduino for controls.
