The CyberDeck hypetrain got to me. I succumbed to it. I never stood a chance. For readers who don’t know what CyberDecks are, they’re custom-built computers in funky cases. I’ve seen people cram Raspberry Pis into small tin cans, oyster shells, and makeup palettes, and it’s just made me so, so happy. Here are some... Continue Reading →
This semester, I took a class on Origami Engineering. Taught by Prof. Paulino in the Civil Engineering Department, it is a class that aims to teach students state-of-art concepts and algorithms to design and analyze origami structures, while also teaching them basics of differential geometry through origami principles. It is one of the best classes... Continue Reading →
Halfway done! I have alot of mixed feelings about this - as a junior I get to take a lot more cool classes, I have a better idea of the things I can do, and more importantly, the things I can't or aren't worth it. I have a lovely group of people I hang out... Continue Reading →
This is an ongoing blogpost about the work done as part of PacBot, a robotics club at Princeton that creates a small autonomous robot capable of playing pacman in a real maze! I am yet to write about the actual robot and its hardware design in this post (I will soon!), but please continue reading... Continue Reading →
I made this watch this summer break because I've been wanting to get better at PCB design and level up from programming microcontroller boards to bare chips. I spent the last two and a half months interning at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. During my internship, I worked on developing a calibration protocol and... Continue Reading →
I completed my first semester at Princeton this December. It was an incredibly hard choice choosing to go so far away instead of IITk, but I'm glad I ended up going. One of the classes I took this semester was Introduction to Ceramics. The goal of the class was to teach learners the basics of... Continue Reading →
In November 2023, my partner Niru Vijayakrishnan and I built Ray for HackPrinceton, a hackathon hosted by Princeton University. This was my first ever hackathon, and I went into it with no expectations. I was honestly astounded by how much my peers were capable of and how much you can build when you focus on a single problem for 36... Continue Reading →
With college application season and JEE season at an end (committed to Princeton University!!) I had the time to tackle my to-do list. I've been working on this project on and off for two months and finally completed it this week. Teebot is a t-shirt folding robot that uses servos and a 4-panel system to... Continue Reading →
Ever since I made my Starry Night pair of clay earrings, I've gotten into using clay to emulate paintings and painting techniques. This past week, I made a dragon in the theme of the Almond Blossoms set of paintings by Van Gogh. These earrings were made from the leftover clay from my dragon. This blog... Continue Reading →
Last summer, I built IKSHANA with two other team members, Vani Bedi and Rudra Gupta, as part of a five-week bootcamp hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. The program gave us access to fabrication facilities like 3D printers and laser cutters, as well as a wide range of tools, components, and lab space that made rapid... Continue Reading →
