Systems Engineering

Robotics & Control Systems

FRC Control Library

AbsoluteLib V2

View Repository

Architected and implemented the core Java control library utilized by **FRC Team 4308: Absolute Robotics** to streamline robot subsystems, kinematics, and simulation.

Robot Subsystems & Inverse Kinematics

Modular framework designed for robot components including arms, pivots, and elevators. Implements custom multi-DOF inverse kinematics (IK) solvers for arm path coordination.

Key Subcomponents

›Arm: Multi-joint arm controls with built-in Inverse Kinematics solver.

›Pivot & Elevator: High-precision single-joint rotational & linear controllers.

›EndEffector: Unified base configurations for claws, intakes, and grippers.

Portfolio Showcase

Projects & Open Source

Robotics

AbsoluteLib V2

A custom Java utility and controls library for FRC Team 4308. Features a multi-joint Inverse Kinematics (IK) solver, unified motor/encoder wrappers, and physics-accurate simulation support.

Web App

This Website!

My personal developer portfolio. Built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Three.js, and Framer Motion, featuring 3D visualization, interactive CLI, and mini-games.

Mod

Hypixel Plus

A Minecraft (1.8.9) Forge Mod that aims to save players countless hours of grinding and wasting time, instantly skipping to the good part of Skyblock.

Hardware

Fpv Drones!

I build FPV drones in real life. My main build uses a SpeedyBee F405 V3 stack along with high-performance custom components.

Games

My Games

A showcase of various games I have designed and programmed using the Unity engine and Roblox platform.

Web App
