Projects

A bunch of projects I care about:

• FS-4 Firmware: Firmware for Formula Slug's latest racecar, FS-4. Including throttle control, BMS, dash screens, data acquisition & logging, traction control, state-of-charge estimation, CAN bus architecture, drivers for various sensors, and the rest of the racecar's logic. I led a team of around 10 firmware developers to design this from the ground up.
  FS-4 Schematics: PCB designs for Formula Slug's latest racecar, FS-4. I implemented our first custom STM32 design, fixed last-second BMS and battery temp sense PCB mistakes, tested nearly every aspect of the electrical system and was instrumental in getting the motor spinning days before competition. This was a monumental team effort that I'm super proud to have contributed to:
  
  
• FS-3: Formula Slug's 2024-2025 racecar, FS-3. I did PCB and firmware design, sensor integration, data analysis, and debugged most electrical components of the car at some point. I also developed a ground-up live telemetry system to analyze racecar data in the browser in realtime.
  
  
• nixconf: My perfectly customized NixOS desktop configuration for all of my 4+ host machines. This is the culmination of my years using Linux, learning how OSes work, and my descent into madness trying to build the perfect dev environment (>450 commits deep). At this point I couldn't bear to live without it
  
• Electronics Workshop: I helped develop this new highschool class doing research, embedded programming, and debugging. I wrote our Micropython libraries, tried a lot of sensors, and did some cool navigation algorithms.
  
• bvngee.com: Written and hosted from scratch using only Astro, nginx, and some bash. Automated deployment, manual SSL, etc (see this post). Great learning experience
• BvngeeAddons: My personal set of client-side fixes & features for Minecraft 1.17, including screenshot management utilities, improved boss bar rendering, bug fixes, and more. Made purely for myself to resolve my annoyances with the game client. Also CoordinateMod and AntiAutoJump, my first two mods which were published to get around 16k total downloads.
• A bunch of other stuff on GitHub: Experiments, C++/Rust things, assignments, etc.
• Once upon a time I ran a technical Minecraft server. We designed record breaking farms, tons of automation, etc. At one point I was reading decombiled Minecraft source code to debug my farm's lag performance. This is definitely what got me into engineering. (2020-2024)
