Projects:
Hogwarts Chessboard:
I undertook a project to build a hands-free chessboard with automatic pawn movement and a remote user interface. Using a reed switch matrix, I identified chess pieces and validated moves. Additionally, I developed the frontend of a custom mobile app using Figma UI for seamless communication between remote players.
MAARG:
A Personalized, Location-Aware Audio Guide for Museums: In a team of six, we developed a headphone-mounted device utilizing ESP32S3 boards, WiFi, BLE 5.0, and IMUs. This innovative device not only served as an indoor navigation system for museums but also functioned as an audio guide, providing a seamless and immersive experience for museum tourists. Furthermore, it enhanced visitor analytics and crowd flow management.
