One of my favorite activities, especially during the holiday season, is to utilize some of my engineering and design skills to create unique gifts for my friends and loved ones. My most recent endeavor took me down the rabbit hole of PCB artwork and RFID chips/programming, resulting in the project you see to the left. 

When I have excess time, I also enjoy working on various side projects that are simply useful for myself, and possibly for others. Earlier in 2022, I took on a project to design my first PCB design of a wireless turn signal for the scooter I use on campus. This would inevitably teach me a significant amount about EDA software, the system of PCB design, and ESP32 microcontrollers.

I look forwards to more complex projects later down the line, possibly designing some IoT devices with the ESP32.
