Mobile applications, embedded systems, and hardware - each one built with a team and taken far enough to be used, judged, or deployed.
A cross-platform Android/iOS navigation app for a 200-acre high school campus. Real-time GPS routing runs on an A* pathfinder over a map graph derived in QGIS, wrapped in a React Native client with Firebase authentication, class schedules, and availability tracking. Built during a software engineering internship with Allen ISD and rolled out with administrator support.
Environmental control and monitoring for a future lunar surface base. Arduino-based instrumentation streams temperature, pressure, humidity, and luminosity into a Firebase-backed store, surfaced through a custom React Native GUI. I led the team through design, CAD, and implementation; the project earned State Championship honors and National Finalist recognition in the Software Division.
A Raspberry Pi smart mirror behind two-way glass that pulls live weather, New York Times headlines, and current Spotify playback over their public APIs and renders them as a glanceable morning dashboard.
Ongoing work with the Rocket Engine Design Club at Texas A&M: designing avionics PCBs in KiCad, writing sensor acquisition and telemetry software in C++ and Python, and modeling engine components in SolidWorks with the mechanical team.
