I’ve built a range of robotics and automation projects: drones with PID-based flight stabilization, wireless robotic arms with synchronized servo control, IoT-based smart home systems with cloud dashboards, and a nonlinear ball-and-beam control system for system identification and Kalman filtering. Each project pushed a different part of the stack — drones taught me real-time sensor fusion and stabilization, the robotic arm taught me multi-node embedded communication, the IoT systems taught me cloud integration and REST APIs, and the ball-and-beam work taught me data-driven modeling and adaptive control. I use these projects both as a personal research testbed and as teaching material for the students I mentor.
