My Projects
Capstone - Smart Bungee Winch
September 2025 - April 2026
For my final year capstone project, I partnered with Great Canadian Bungee
to develop a smart bungee winch to deliver safe 'water dips'.
At Great Canadian Bungee, customers bungee jump from a 200 foot tower into a water reservoir.
An operator controls a winch to raise and lower the bungee cord according to the jumper's weight to ensure they hit the water at a safe speed.
I worked with 5 other students to automate this process to maximize safety and customer throughput.

Arena
October 2023 - March 2024
I designed and built a 6x6 foot arena to safely contain combat robots up to 3 lbs. I raised $5900 from my university and sponsors for this project.
It has a steel frame, plywood boards for the floor, and 2 layers of polycarbonate walls. The arena is easily taken apart into beams and panels for transport and storage.
I used SolidWorks to design it, and applied stress simulations to ensure it could safely hold more than the intended load.
Battlebots
October 2022 - Current
I was previously the President of the Battlebots Club at my university (UBCO), where we design and construct combat robots for competitions.
I helped host Kelowna Smashdown 01, the first combat robotics tournament in the Okanagan, which had 18 bots from across Western Canada competing.

Electromagnetism Simulator
July 2022 - Current
Try it out! A desktop program to simulate electric and magnetic fields in response to creating, destroying and moving charges.
It's like a sandbox type game where users are given lots of freedom to experiment.
Red spheres represent + charges, and blues are -. The arrowed lines are field lines: they point in the direction of where a + charge would go.
It is made in Unity and written in C#. A link will be available in the near future.
World Engineering Day Hackathon
January - February 2022
For the World Engineering Day Hackathon competition, I lead a team that designed a Mobile Rain Harvesting System to provide Canadian indigenous communities with clean
drinking
water. We finished second of over 120 teams from across the world.
This portable rain barrel collects water with its polyester reinforced with polyurethane surface, and filters it through ceramic candle filters.
Rooftop Sprinkler
September - December 2021
YouTube video This is a downscaled prototype of an automated roof-top sprinkler system
that protects your property from wildfires. A sensor monitors ambient temperature and humidity and automatically waters your land
when fire risk is high.
While this will be ineffective in the middle of a forest fire, it will prevent airborne embers from landing on dry debris, which would cause a new fire.
Solidworks ATAT
September-November 2021
Youtube videoA school project to learn the CAD program Solidworks. We were a team of 6, I made the head and the guns.
Electron Orbital Simulator
January-April 2021
Click here to try it out!A program that models the structure of the atom. I made this as a personal project for my high school chemistry teacher, who uses it to teach her classes to this day.
LED Cube
July-January 2019
Youtube video A cube of 512 LEDs that are each individually programmable. Controlled using Arduino.
I spent dozens of hours soldering each LED to this wire grid. I used shift registers and multiplexing principles
so that all the 512 lights only use 7 pins.
Hairy Ballz
May 2018
Youtube videoA 3D animation I made using Blender. I was experimenting with physics and hair particles.
