Selected Projects

I enjoy making things. Here are a selection of projects that I have worked on over the years.

Machine-Vision Surface Porosity Analysis

A MATLAB machine-vision pipeline that quantifies surface porosity of cementitious specimens from images, providing a fast, repeatable alternative to manual measurement.

Ohmic-Curing 3D Printer for Geopolymers

A custom extrusion 3D printer that cures fly-ash geopolymer paste by ohmic (resistive) heating during deposition — accelerating set time and tying print parameters to electrical …

On-Premise Homelab LLM

A self-hosted, offline large-language-model deployment with retrieval-augmented workflows — exploring on-premise LLMs for engineering and infrastructure field-data analysis. Built …

Transient Thermal FEA of Ohmic Curing

Finite-element modeling of transient heat generation and distribution during ohmic curing of geopolymer paste, used to predict temperature fields and inform printer control.

High-Altitude Weather Balloon & PID Control

A high-altitude balloon payload with sensor instrumentation and PID-controlled subsystems — an end-to-end exercise in embedded data acquisition and closed-loop control.
