I mostly worked on development of a technology called non planar 3d printing, which was focusing on enabling more complex and curved layer deposition.
Side Projects
I started getting into homelabbing and servers in order for me to continue my work in the field of machine learning. I scored a good deal on a r730 dell server on ebay and custom built it out to my specifications needed, and got a bunch of gpus donated by a local datacenter. I also took this opportunity to get a 48p switch and hardwire everything else in my room as well, from my printers to my main desktop computer.
I worked on a feature for Prusa Slicer which allowed users to do something called Arc Overhanging, where you could print on the edge of the previous layer removing the need for supports and making it possible to do prints on FDM machines that were previously impossible.
This was a project we worked on for a event called Open Sauce I went to, we built a fully modular rocket completely built from scratch that consisted of gps, telemetry, video transmission, alt, sd card, a screen, cellular, etc. We also had a edf unit inside like one of my earlier rockets to show how our TVC works onboard, as this was a gimbals demo unit.
This is my current race drone I use for drone racing events, and its a 4s high speed quad with a 22:1 thrust to weight ratio that I have specially designed to give me as much of a edge as possible. Its completely custom designed from custom cut carbon frame, to hand etched fc with a f7 processor running betaflight.
This was a RF based antenna tracker that I used to keep pinpoint accuracy on my quad when its flying at high speed through the air. It doesnt use any external sensor data other than rf strength, and it works by utilizing the hill climb algorithm and PID for fine motor control to pinpoint where the quad is and track it consistently.
This is a high speed quad I built for a little longer and faster freestyle as well as for car shots, which need to carry beefy gopros and need to follow fast moving objects.
This was a custom made analog system built on top of my old goggles designed to increase range via channel and frequency fusion in order to reduce rf bouncing from structures and walls providing extreme performance inside concrete structures or places where rf interference is great.
The goal with this was to build a long range agile quad that has the ability to preform autonomous missions and be able to collect surveillance data. This drone was equipped with 915mhz crossfire transmission and a hglrc gps system running INAV for autonomous travel. The downside was ultimately the small battery and high rpm motors which greatly reduced flight time.
This was a rocket we designed for the Arc Rocketry Competition, the goal was to make it hit a certain altitude, as well as reach it with limited weight and motor class. The rocket consists of a TVC and EDF and a RC battery in order to be able to hit its target and instantly slow down via back prop. This allowed us to hit +-3 meters of our target altitude.
This is the 3rd iteration of my cinewhoop style drone, and its based on the diatone taycan 3 inch frame, scaled to 5 inch. It uses performance 5 inch motors ripped from a old racing drone, which allowed me to move extremely fast with heavy camera equipment on board for shots that need faster speed.

This was back when I first started developing high vram intensive models, and started working in LLM's and CV processing, and I needed a system that could keep up, so I bought my first GPU (nvidia tesla k80) and put together a cheap distributed computing cluster I used for training. Because the card was so old, most systems didn't support it and I had to learn older versions of CUDA C in order to fully utilize it.
I was starting to get bored of 3d printing, so I moved on to FPV drones and high speed aircraft, where I ended up building my own and developing custom software and hardware for it which ended up pushing my interests in EECS and aeronautics even further.
I worked and developed a new type of glass adhesive for high performance materials like PEEK and ABS that tend to warp alot. I worked with a company called vision miner to mass produce and sell this as a viable product for everyone to use!
This was my first venture into resin 3d printing, and I managed to score 4x anycubic photons for 30$ total all broken. I took them all apart and repaired them in order to work and develop more precise parts for the other projects I was working on at the time.
This project involved designing a custom 3D printer based on the Replicator 1, but constructed in acrylic and retrofitted with two Flexion extruders, which were the leading technology for flexible filament printing at the time. The success of this design contributed to the development of the Flexion Dual system, advancing dual-extruder technology for flexible materials.
This project involves the development of a small robot powered by a Raspberry Pi and servo motors, featuring a 3D-printed structure. The aim was to create a functional and low-cost walking robot using easily accessible components.
This was probably the first "real" project I did, its what probably pushed me into the hardware side of engineering and really opened my eyes to the possibilities. The entire adapter was custom made from the 3d printed shell down to the hand etched and custom designed PCB. It has a very simple purpose; be able to tell when a light bulb goes out and relay it back to the main control hub, which could be miles away. This system used a mesh network technology called zigby which was able to transmit basically infinite range as long as you have enough nodes.
Exhibitions
