Magnetic Levitator
The electronics of the magnetic levitator that I worked on consisted of a sensor and a PD controller. Click the link below to learn more.
Taser
The most challenging part of the taser was converting low DC voltage to very high DC voltage. The only way to do this was to switch to AC voltage and then use a center-tapped transformer to step up the AC voltage. After this, the high AC voltage would then need to be converted back to high DC voltage to charge capacitors. Click the link below to find out more about how I implemented this.
Electrical Plotter
My role in this project was creating a +/- 12V stable power supply from a 24V source and creating a SAR (Successive Approximation Register) ADC for accurate current measurement. Click the link below for more information.
Wireless Smart Doorbell
In this project, I integrated an M5 Stick CPlus2 with a Python GUI to create a wireless smart doorbell. Watch the video to see the full functionality.
Strain Gauge Sensor
This project implements a real-time strain measurement system to calculate the angle and trajectory of a swinging mass attached to a 3D-printed triangular frame using BF120 strain gauges, a Wheatstone bridge, and amplification circuits interfaced with an Arduino microcontroller. By processing analog strain signals through an HX711 ADC and a custom instrumentation amplifier with filtering, the setup accurately tracks mass position, compensates for errors with a dynamic calibration function, and demonstrates practical strain gauge measurement and signal conditioning techniques.

Sensor-Fusion Fitness
This project integrates an MPU-6050 accelerometer, a pulse sensor, and a force-sensitive resistor (FSR) into a wearable strap to monitor real-time workout safety by tracking movement, heart rate, and exerted force. The system uses sensor fusion and signal processing—including a Kalman filter for heart rate smoothing and logic for detecting dangerous quick movements while applying force—to provide user alerts and injury prevention feedback during exercise sessions.
