Selected Work

Each project follows the same principle: understand the real problem, then build the simplest thing that solves it well.

Autonomous Self-Following Cart

Problem

Carrying heavy gear across campsites, warehouses, or shopping areas is physically demanding — and existing electric carts still require manual steering with no obstacle avoidance or person-following capability.

Solution

Designed and built a vision + UWB sensor fusion mobile robot that autonomously follows a user while avoiding obstacles in real-time, integrating OAK-D perception, ROS2-based control, and differential drive motor control into a complete working prototype.

Outcome

Working prototype achieved real-time person tracking, autonomous following at walking speed, and depth-based obstacle avoidance — full hardware + software integration from perception through planning to motor control.

RealityBridge

Problem

Creating XR content requires manual 3D modeling, importing, and scene placement — a slow pipeline disconnected from the physical objects designers actually want to reference.

Solution

Built a physical copy-paste interface: point a camera at a real object, press Copy, and AI recognition instantly spawns a digital 3D representation in your XR environment.

Outcome

Working research prototype demonstrating real-time physical-to-digital object transfer — combining edge AI vision, custom hardware controller, and Unity XR environment into a seamless interaction.

SnackBox

Problem

Snack consumption is rising while physical activity declines — but health tracking systems treat diet and activity as separate data silos, missing the relationship between the two.

Solution

Built an IoT snack box prototype with embedded sensors that logs snack events, integrates Apple Health activity data, and uses AI to generate personalized lifestyle reports connecting diet habits with physical activity.

Outcome

Working proof-of-concept demonstrating end-to-end data flow from physical snack event capture through health data integration to AI-generated daily and weekly lifestyle reports.

About

I'm a product design engineer who works across the full stack — hardware, firmware, and software. I value clarity over cleverness, and I believe the best engineering feels invisible to the end user.
