  • My Projects

    Mobirise Website Builder
    Automotive Mobility Robot
    Arduino UNO C++, AutoCAD, TinkerCAD, Microsoft Office Suite

    Teams of six were tasked with designing and building a functional, motorized wheelchair for a teddy bear under defined engineering constraints. Our solution integrated mechanical systems, electrical wiring, and embedded programming to meet performance, safety, and aesthetic goals. I served as Project Manager, leading team coordination, planning, and task delegation. Furthermore, I also supported hardware integration efforts, contributing to the assembly and electrical system design.

    Java, UIUX (JavaFX, Scene Builder), Microsoft Office Suite

    Developed a university management system in teams of four using Java, JavaFX, and Scene Builder to streamline student, faculty, and course administration with secure role-based access control. Led the front-end UI/UX development, creating an intuitive and responsive interface that enhanced user experience. Core features included user authentication, automated student ID generation, enrollment tracking, academic progress calculation, and scheduling conflict detection.

    Personal Portfolio Website
    Mobirise, HTML, CSS, GitHub

    The website you currently on is a responsive portfolio website to present academic projects, technical skills, and my professional background. Used Mobirise as a design skeleton to prototype the layout and structure, then customized the site by editing the HTML and asset files in Visual Studio Code. Enhanced functionality and styling to align with personal goals, ensuring clean and consistent aesthetics, smooth navigation, and cross-device compatibility.
