I’m a hardware engineer who loves bringing ideas to life, especially the fun, useless, or unreasonably specific ones :D
Currently studying Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo

Naiad
Naiad is basically a small USB-C rechargeable keychain type thing that hangs off my HUGEE water bottle and will flash to remind me to drink water when it hasn't detected a sip every X amount of minutes (in my case I chose 15 minutes). I made it because I have a really bad habit of going the entire day without drinking much water, and thought this was a fun way to solve it :)
Project Hermes
Project Hermes is a Raspberry Pi powered game streaming handheld built for PC gamers, streaming your games from your pc via SteamLink to the console wherever you want! (provided you have an internet connection) and since its only streaming the games you can do this without rebuying games or paying console prices for the hardware!
HackCharm
A tiny circular keychain with a pixelated face on an OLED that reacts to taps/shakes to change its expression. It is basically a cute interactive keychain!!
Duck off Doomscrolling (D.O.D)
Duck off Doomscrolling (or D.O.D for short) is a fun way to quit destructive/disruptive social media! Basically it is a duck that will sit on your desk while you work, track your face using openCV and a servo, and finally.. squirt water on you if you open doom scrolling apps such as Instagram Reels! >:D (this was a hackathon project built in 4 days).
NFC PCB Card
A custom PCB with a copper antenna that works without a battery by harvesting power from your phone’s NFC field, lights an LED and shares contact information when tapped. I also taught this as a workshop to 100+ high school students, who each got their own personalized PCB cards for free
