2016

3D printing

A high-school hobby taken too seriously: co-founded a print + VR lab, ran it like a business. First lesson — making things is addictive.

03❯lab

live simulations, not screenshots — every pixel is computed right now

./slam_explorer

Frontier exploration with simulated lidar — the robot maps the maze as it goes.

↳re-creates: Object-Detection Maze Robot · Georgia Tech

./pid_drone

A quadcopter under PD control chasing your cursor. Toggle wind on and watch it fight back.

↳re-creates: UF UAV Club VTOLs + CORELab blimp control

./aerial_detect

Detection HUD sweeping procedural terrain for charcoal-kiln burn scars.

↳re-creates: ISPRS '24 paper — Ghana detection pipeline

./printer_twin

A 3D print and its digital twin, layer by layer — vision diff catches the injected faults.

↳re-creates: FDM fault-detection twin · cousin of my GPU-fleet twins @ Dell

the M340i

exhibit 01/08

Hunted with a bot, specced to the letter, mods hand-wired into the dash. Driving is the analog hobby — the one place the loop slows down.

08❯ping me

Let's build something ridiculous.

Whether it's agentic AI, a robot that shouldn't exist, or just a good conversation about drones — my inbox is open.
