Personal Projects

Locked In

Working with a group of 4, this was my final project for the EG 1004 course at NYU Tandon. The box was cut out of birch wood, designed in fusion 360, and controlled by an Arduino Uno coded in C++. 

Card Calculator

My final project for Harvard's CS50 allows users to compare their graphics hashrate to other users, calculate current price profitability, and derive the value of a specific card for a specific cost.

Mining My Own Business

Mined Ethereum on graphics cards by building and managing mining rigs

Kept machines running efficiently by monitoring temperatures and coming up with cooling solutions.

Increased monitoring potential by switching to a custom mining operating system.

Ensured sustainability by researching new power delivery methods, resulting in a 100% green mine.
