I am a Computer Scientist graduate of San Diego State University. I have a passion for problem-solving and continuously expanding my knowledge. I am always enthusiastic about working on projects that enable me to experiment with new technologies, languages, and concepts. I am passionate about mobile development and utilizing IoT devices to address various challenges. Some of the projects that I have worked on are summarized below. I have included detailed READMEs and demos for all my projects so check them out!

Da Bell is a custom-made Ring Doorbell alternative that is low-lost and provides the same basic functionality, but without audio and speaking capabilities.

Gestures for Home Control is gesture-based home control system that was made to be an alternative to Alexa (Amazon's voice based home control). At the moment, Gestures for Home Control implements the following APIs: Nest, Kasa, and Spotify. These APIs are used in conjunction with custom gestures in order to link each API to the respective commands. In addition to gestures, Gestures for Home Control also recognizes a circle pattern in order to change thermostat temperature and or volume for an easy and interative way to control your home.

This project is my own implementation of a dashcam that leverages my limited knowledge of hardware and software. All in all, it would have been cheaper to just buy one from Amazon, but I don’t regret spending the extra money and the many hours debugging. This was a challenging project due to the fact that so variables had to be taken into consideration to ensure it would work properly.

Here are a few things I've picked up along my learning journey.
