Computer Vision & Control Model for Robot (NI Vision + LabVIEW)
A vision-based robot control system using National Instruments hardware and LabVIEW — the robot sees, decides, and acts — with lessons that transferred directly to later data pipeline and real-time processing work.
FIRST Robotics FRC VPN for On-Device Testing
Built a VPN system for remote programming and testing of actual FRC RoboRIO hardware — not a simulator — and learned as much about networking latency as robotics in the process.
LabVIEW Data Acquisition — Solar Thermal Electric Panel
A LabVIEW and CompactRIO data acquisition system to measure a novel Solar Thermal Electric Panel against commercial systems — results published on ResearchGate.
LEGO-Based Standard Robot Testing Framework
A standardized test robot built from LEGO for repeatable, reconfigurable multi-motion and vision testing — because having a reliable test platform is the difference between debugging code and debugging hardware at the same time.
Lessons I have learned
This page is for lessons that have earned their place through experience.
NI RoboRIO — LabVIEW, C++, and Java Programming
Multi-language robotics programming across NI hardware for FRC mentorship — maintaining parallel codebases for the same robot behaviors to understand what's universal versus what's a language artifact.
Philosophy and the Study of Existence
I return to philosophy, religion, poetry, and art as a living reference library for the human experience — using them as tools for seeing, not as abstract decoration.
