Hi! I'm Allen, and I love to make things.
My Projects
A showcase of things I've made for school or for fun. My primary focus is in embedded systems, but I try to dabble in as many fields as I can.
Screaming Roomba
Summer 2022
A totally normal hardware-hacked Roomba that screams every time it hits a wall. Poor thing.
ESP32 Quadcopter
Summer 2021
A WIP quadcopter developed in collaboration with a group of friends. Developed a custom PCB with all the functionality you would ever need.
Arduino Quadcopter
2018
A custom 3D-printed Arduino quadcopter. Communicated with a Java driver station laptop using HC-12s. Really sucked to tune, nearly died once. Click for video!
Pearadox (FIRST Robotics)
2016 - 2019
My first experience with engineering. Developed software for both teleoperated and autonomous control. Learned all about crackhead engineering.
Rust Robotics
Fall 2022 - Spring 2023
Capstone Design Project sponsored by Texas Instruments. Worked as a team to develop a Rust HAL for the MSP430 and created a Robotics demonstration.
RTOS Robot Car
Spring 2022
A 3D-printed robot car that drives between two walls. Wrote firmware using an RTOS developed by me.
Lightsaber
Spring 2021
Lightsabers are cool. Especially when everything is made from scratch. First place in class design competition. Click for video!
Super Smash TM4C
Spring 2020
Programmed a clone of Super Smash Bros for the TM4C microcontroller with custom PCB controllers. I just wanted to throw my professor into my favorite game franchise. First place in class design competition. Click for video!
BB8 Robot
Spring 2019 - Summer 2019
Developed a 3D-printed life-sized BB8 using hamster drive. Very not fun to maintain!
About Me
Hello! I'm a master's student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at The University of Texas Austin. Outside of my projects, I have a few hobbies that I am very passionate about, which include cooking, bouldering, video games, and archery.
