Hardware Hack projects developed during #OCHackerz #OpenHack #Hackathon
A proximity sensing robot using Arduino compatible board.
A Wearable Watch designed using Solidworks and a 3d printer for prototype.
I worked with two 12 year old hackers on an BioMetric Access Control panel with a touchscreen LCD for commercial buildings.
The winning prize was a coffee bean scale which measures the right amount of coffee for industrial automation.
It was exciting to put some of my Agile / Scrum team management principles into practice to manage multiple teams while simultaneously working on a project and coordinating the event.
Startup Weekend - 912 Alerts Mobile App for emergency response
At my first Startup Weekend event, I designed an emergency response app and worked with my team of developers to demo our prototype. It allowed any user to report their GPS location and alert family members at the touch of a button.
I decided to call it 912 Alerts. Because it's 1 step ahead of 911 given that we provide 2 critical pieces of information requested whenever someone reports an emergency.
3D Model Design of Concept #Wearable Device
A 3D model to house the SiliconLabs Pulse Sensor designed for the wrist.

When your heartrate is high, it recommends upbeat music, when it's low, it recommends calm soothing music and visa versa.
