My Projects
Along with being a photographer, I'm an Electrical Engineer. I've worked with hobby electronics since early high school, and below I've written pages on a few of my projects.

Smart Scoreboard
I made a sports scoreboard that adds a point when a T-Pose is detected and subtracts a point if a surrender cobra pose is detected. The Raspberry Pi and Arduino are powered by a Ryobi battery. It is my largest 3D printed project to-date, and my first machine learning project outside of school.
Freelance LED Sign
I worked with VisionTech LED Solutions to make a custom animated hexagon LED sign. I designed, fabricated, and programmed the controllers and power distribution system for the more than 3200 individually addressable LED's inside of the sign. The project was installed behind the welcome desk for a large company at one of their storefronts.
Mini-projects
These are projects that I've done that either didn't take very long, or aren't big enough to deserve their own page. I learned a lot from most of these projects, as small projects are often my way of testing ideas before implementing them in a "real" project.
Arduino Controller for Ceiling Lights
October 2017
I made a controller for WS2812 lights on my ceiling that uses the same light functions as the WallPaw. It has an Arduino Uno and Mega, a boost converter for voltage, a microphone, an IR receiver, and a RF receiver.
Edge-lit National Champions sign
March 2017
I wanted to test out edge-lit acrylic using the addressable LED's before I made a big project with them. I learned a lot from this little test project.
Heater Alarm Clock 4.0
2013-2017
My room is often really cold in the mornings, so I programmed a heater to turn on before my alarm. Now my room is nice and toasty when I need to get out of bed.
Backlit LED Horse Head
November 2017
This project was a present for my friend Lauren Smith. It is a laser cut+etched horse head with battery-powered LED strips behind it. There are ~20 built-in functions it cycles through with a button.
Sports Photography Tutorials
January 2019
I wrote short blog posts about taking pictures for a variety of college sports. Each post covers where to enter and put your bag, where you can/can't go on the field, and recommended camera settings.
