WhereAble
Creative Technologist · 09.2023 - 04.2024
Winner of Best Systems Design Engineering Capstone Project
A haptic belt for deaf and hard-of-hearing people that detects sound direction and alerts the wearer through vibration. Built with electronic textiles and iteratively tested across form factors and signalling strategies.
Electronic Textile Prototyping · 2024
Designed and prototyped the belt with microcontrollers, electronic textiles, and conductive thread.
Usability tested across form factors and haptic strategies.
Improved accuracy from 57% to 100% and reduced reaction time from 4.6 seconds to 0.15 seconds.

Light Mode
Creative Technologist · 2025
An interactive lamp that detects different stands and responds with colour and motion, exploring how light can make hidden interactions tangible.
Lamp Shade Iterations · 2025
Built end-to-end: ESP32 firmware, Hall-effect and RFID sensing, digital LED control.
Fabricated each stand using CNC milling, laser cutting, and 3D printing.
Designed enclosure and diffuser shade in Fusion 360, iterating on form to invite handling.

PROJECT
Nudge
Creative Technologist · 2025
An ambient computing furniture system that reminds you to bring your stuff. When you’re about to leave the house, Nudge responds with physical gestures and a warm glow.
Interior electronics · 2025
Built electronics and firmware (ESP32, PCA9685, ultrasonic sensor, NeoPixel LEDs).
Integrated calendar and weather APIs with motor drivers to trigger context-aware physical responses.
Design and fabrication, including CNC toolpath and hook rotation mechanisms

Craftsmanship Engineering (Model Y, Cybertruck)
Craftsmanship Engineering Intern · 01.2023-04.2023
Craftsmanship is the perception of quality a customer has about a product, derived through first-hand sensory experience.
Cybertruck cup holders · 2023
Worked across product, design studio, engineering, and manufacturing to set targets and resolve issues from concept through launch.
Benchmarked competitor vehicles to define targets for panel gaps/flush, material feel.
Validated targets in CAD and physical models, negotiated specs across internal teams and contract manufacturers.
