Chore Tracking System

This is my first web app development project that I worked on over a summer.

It is a web-based system built to streamline chore assignments, tracking, and reporting in a shared living space.

Core Technologies:

Backend: Python/Flask
Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript
Database: JSON
PDF Report Generation: WeasyPrint
Mobile SMS Notifications: PushBullet API
External APIs: Integration with sunrise-sunset.org for theme switching

Remote Start+

A personal project in progress: I got tired of walking long distances to a very cold car in the winter.

Goal: Remotely start a car from extremely long distances using a SIM or LoRa module (if cell service in unavailable) paired with an Android app.

Progress: Working out communication standards (UART) between SIM module and ESP32, learning Android App Development

Controls/Programming

For an internship with Mahle Engine Components, my task was to program this oven (left) to efficiently reach and hold a set temperature, as well as interface with external switches and a timer unit. This involved using Eurotherm's software and analyzing electrical schematics.

Another was a Honeywell DCP100 Single Loop controller (right) that needed to be replaced. I headed this project by coordinating with electricians and production to get the new controller programmed and installed.

Networking/Fun IT Projects

Project: Manage a small PoE Gigabit network for my house using a Cisco SG300. This network includes:

DHCP and DNS services run from Windows Server 2025
PBX Server run on seperate machine for a whole house phone system.

Egg Drop v1.0

This was a very exciting and fun project for me. It started with designing a 3D model of a base that would snap on the bottom of a Phantom 3 drone. After that I wrote some code for a ESP32 microcontroller. This code made the device act as a webserver, so as long as my phone and it were on the same network, they could communicate. This also involved a bit of HTML and CSS to design a simple launch user interface.

I soldered a SG90 servo to the ESP32 and measured the amount of rotation that was needed to pull back the cargo arm. A small 5v battery pack powered the controller via USB.

From the ground, everything was working great. I have yet to test this device in the air due to weather conditions... I will update this when I am able to fly it.
