PICAR
Pi Car was built using Raspberry Pi 3B. It contains 3 servo motors to control stationary movements and a stepper motor for wheel rotary movement. It also contains a number of input/output modules such as camera, motion sensor, temperature sensor, IR sensor, bluetooth, mic etc.
Complete automation of PiCar is built on Python. I have also coded it to work with dialogFlow for custom dialogs and it connects to my personal Google assistant for generic conversations. PiCar can map the entire house and move to desired location on command. It can act as a security camera and send notifications. It also has facial recognition and is enabled with motion detection to focus in the direct of motion to capture image. Obstacle detection ensure the safety of Pi Car during motion.

PICO CAM
This mini security camera was built using Raspberry Pi Pico W Micro controller. The case is 3D printed using an ender V2. It has a camera and a motion sensor. The camera and the device itself will be in idle mode until motion is detected by the motion sensor. The device also contains a slot for SD card to store any video or image captured. It also host a Wifi module and an antenna for remote access and to send notifications. The entire device runs on 2 18260 batteries and can last up to a month without recharge depending in the amount of motion detected in the area. Currently I am working on including facial recognition to this device.

CORNER LAMP
The construction of this corner lamp combines 2 of my very passionate hobbies. Woodworking and microcontroller. The lamp frame was built using maple and poplar. The LED strip is controlled by ESP32 micro controller that is running WLED. This construction has very minimum customization to WLED where I created a a couple of flag patterns in the lights. Otherwise majority of the functionality is out of the box.

Chess set
Picked up wood working as a hobby during covid and was hooked onto it. This is a chess set that I built from scratch including the chess figures and the board. It was built using walnut to represent black and white oak to represent white in chess. Since this I have now built multiple tables, adirondack chairs, book shelves, mallets and other small household usable items using wood.
