Current project

     The FridgeMate project has been a lot of work and a good deal of fun filled learning experiences. Now I'm excited to be working on something more physical and hardware centered. The MirrorBuddy project is a automotive automation project. The idea is to detect who is driving and then adjust the mirrors automatically.

About

    Kiono Kitse is a project notebook for projects that I've worked on as well as a platform for testing ideas. It's intended to showcase my projects and contain helpful documentation but not replicate the entire project. There is a tutorial section for things that I could not find good documentation on and could be helpful to others.

    A little about me. I'm a mechanical engineer who works in research and development in the computer vision field. It's a bit of a stretch for mechanical engineering but I really enjoy being challenged and coming up with creative solutions for difficult problems. Outside of work, I like to work on robotics or automation projects and develop new skills like programming. In between projects, I like to work on fashion design and learn about horticulture.

Skills

Philosophy

    A lot of my personal projects take a lot longer than expected and sometimes they don't quite work out. For me that is okay. I view these types of projects as chances to do risky things and develop new skills. On the other hand, it's very rewarding to have a finished project that actually works. In my projects I aim to strike a balance between these two ideas. Some projects I start out with the understanding that it's going to be a risky project. On other projects I start with something I already know I know how to do but look for ways to expand on that. Expect to see a good mix of both types of projects here.
