Full-Stack Hardware & Software Developer

Personal Project: Heart Haptics

  • Designing and building a pair of wearable devices from the ground up, integrating an ESP32-C3 microcontroller, display, haptic motor, and battery, and programming the Arduino (C++) firmware for button input, haptic feedback, and device-to-device communication

  • Architecting a data pipeline from each watch to a mobile app over Bluetooth and on to cloud storage, so a button press on one device triggers haptic feedback on its partner and is logged for tracking

  • Developing a mobile app that links devices by unique ID and tallies daily interactions, with a calendar view of press history

  • Designing the on-device UI from scratch, including a clock, logo screen, and live tally counter of presses from both devices, and 3D printing a custom enclosure that mounts to a commercial watch band
