Utility to routinely backup local file server to store, and automatically manage monthly backups

Hi! 👋 I'm Aaron.

I enjoy taking on solo and team projects spanning different disciplines of engineering, from custom e-bike drivetrains to reverse engineering my car!

I'm currently a junior at MIT as part of the Class of 2025.

My favorite projects

• ⚙️ I designed TeensyESC, a brushless motor controller based on the Teensy 4.1 chip and Trinamic TMC6200 gate drivers.
• 🚀 I designed Zenith, a model rocket that uses thrust-vectored control to stabilize itself. (Note: Made private due to potential for legal action due to ITAR)
• 🖥️ I also wrote some ground station software, for remote flight monitoring and management.
• 🛹 I'm working on a custom electric skateboard and remote to commute in style, in addition to an electric bike
• 🚗 I hacked my Subaru to read data from the car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) in real-time
• 🗣 I created a dataset to train a neural network to synthesize my voice (the results are only mildly scary)
• 🕹️ I made a video game rendering engine that outputs only ASCII characters, and then made a working game with it! Checkmate Kindle E-Reader gamers 😎

YouTube

🎥 I also occasionally post to a YouTube channel where I make videos about coding, engineering, music, and anything else that I'm interested in.
