I left semiconductor to return home and dive into building the inventions of my imagination! Since officially wielding a soldering iron as my weapon of professional choice, I've made:• An interactive projection mapped head, showcased at parties around town• A meditative table the generates music and visuals based off 2 people's heart pulses, showcased at Bee Cave Buzzfest and on show at the Hive Galleria in Austin, Texas• A mindfulness lamp that expands and contracts with users' breaths• A mood ring that changes colors based on heart rate variability• A Magic 8 Ball inspired watch that reveals mantras when shaken• A 3D storytelling video game• And a whole plethora of other projects pertaining to internet of things, music synths, making music from plants, making visuals by vibrating water at resonant frequencies, etc. Ask me anything!! I also completed the following courses: Projection Mapping and VJaying, Audio Reactive Art with Unity, Algorithmic Composition in Ableton, Expressive Interfaces, Introduction to Arduino.
