Dorito Custom Swerve Drive

I’ve always been interested in how robots move, especially systems that allow smooth and precise motion in any direction. While looking into swerve drivetrains, I noticed that most designs used in robotics competitions are expensive, power-hungry, and difficult to maintain, which limits who can realistically build and use them. This pushed me to explore a simpler approach that could still be competitive while using cheaper, more accessible parts and less power.

I designed a custom Kiwi swerve drivetrain using three modules instead of four, reducing the number of motors and steering components while keeping full omnidirectional movement. To further simplify the system, I used continuous-rotation servos with encoders for steering, relying on software rather than expensive hardware for accuracy. I built the electronics and wrote the control code in Python on a Raspberry Pi, allowing me to fine-tune movement, balance power use, and keep the system flexible. This project showed me that careful design and software control can replace complexity, resulting in a drivetrain that is efficient, affordable, and practical for both robotics competitions and real-world robotic applications.

My Projects

Robotics

I currently design and build advanced robotic systems that combine mechanical precision with intelligent control. My recent projects include swerve drive robots, AI powered assistants, and servo based mechanisms that use smooth motion control and voice interaction. Each build involves custom CAD design, machining, wiring, and programming allowing me to refine my engineering process from concept to completion. Before starting these independent projects, I was a dedicated member of FTC Team 9384, where I served as Team Captain (2022–2023) and Co-Captain (2023–2024). During that time, I led CAD design, managed documentation, coached at competitions, and helped organize outreach and fundraising events, laying the foundation for the robotics work I continue today.

Open-source 3D Printer Designs and Code

I design and build custom low-cost FDM/FFF 3D printers, often experimenting with unique motion systems and configurations. My GitHub repository showcases a range of machines I’ve created or modified, along with the resources and files needed to replicate or modify them. Whether you're an experienced maker or just starting out, my projects are built to be accessible and versatile, offering something for anyone interested in DIY 3D printing.

Computers and Programming

I started building computers at the age of 13. Since then I have built and modified over 10 PCs. I will include the builds I am most proud of along with some software projects.
