Self Hosted nginx Server

  This entire website, including apps is being hosted from my home computer on my home network using nginx to serve the files accordingly. The current setup uses cloudflared tunnels and nginx as a reverse proxy, rerouting traffic here. This project included several hurdles, mainly learning how to nagivate and configure within Linux.
FishCam / BirdCam
  The fish/bird cam is a passion project that aims to upcycle antiquated security cameras. Using ffmpeg, incoming traffic from the cameras is forwarded to Twitch, a live streaming service. By embedding these streams, a live view of my fish tank and bird feeder can be viewed anywhere.
  It's worth noting that I plan on updating these feeds to be fully self-hosted, using RTSPtoWEB for future versions.
Javascript Physics Simulator

  For my first javascript project, I've developed a basic physics simulator that can be interacted with from inside a web page. Learning the basics of javascript is essential for web developement, and a project like this would require implementing known concepts into code. The greatest challenge with this project was using what I've learned from physics and dynamics courses and converting them to code, specifically javascript.
Bowden Style Extruder For Generic 3D Printer

  Nearly all entry level 3D printers rely on a direct drive system to feed filament to the extruder. This project took an existing direct drive 3D printer (Anet A8) and converted it to a Bowden style feeding system. The benefits of Bowden style include reduced vibrations and a lighter printhead allowing for much faster speeds.
Thermodynamic Analysis of Modern Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs)

  In my thermodynamics class, we were instructed to pick a relevant and interesting topic to explore. I chose to analyze the thermodynamic efficiency of 2 seperate, similar engines: One from 2005 and one from 2025. This project emphasized research and quality of sources to find thermodynamic values of internal combustion engines (ICEs). ICEs, by nature, are heat engines, converting energy (heat) into work with a certain efficiency known as Carnot efficiency. The scope of this project is comparing the two engines (2005 vs. 2025) from a thermodyamic efficiency perspective, revealing improvements from the last 20 years.
Sample Project Proposal | 3D Printing for Mars Missions

  In my technical writing course, we were tasked to write a mock-up in-house project proposal convincing upper management to approve the particular project. For my project, I chose to analyze the ideal 3D printer filament for Mars space flights. Given the extreme climate on Mars, certain material properties must be considered. With the use of 3D printing aboard Mars spacecraft, spare parts and repairs become much simpler. Since a trip to Mars takes about 7 months, it's crucial that repairs can be completed without sending an abundance of spare parts.
  The context of this proposal is a NASA employee explaining the best choice for filament; in this case it's ASA plastic. ASA is a polymer known for impact and UV resistance while still being compatible with 3D printing, making it the ideal choice.
Sample Project Proposal | Cost/Benefits Analysis of Modernization of Company Vehicle Fleet

  For my engineering economics course, we were given the task to conduct an economic analysis on a chosen topic. My group decided to do a cost/benefits analysis on the modernization of a company fleet. Specifically, our project aimed to replace the current fleet of Ford Explorers with plug-in hybrid Totota Prius Primes. Outweighing factors like operational and maintanence costs, CO2 emissions, and sale/purchase price of the vehicles, we found the modernization to be justified.
Catfishing Odds | Schuylkill River, Philadelphia PA
This project uses several public APIs to source weather data and calculate the odds for catfishing on the Schuylkill River using a provided formula.
Weather Station | Philadelphia PA

  This project uses several public APIs to source weather data, moon phase data, and more to display a daily and weekly forecast.
