Custom Keyboard Build

2023

I build my own keyboard based on an open source design called the corne keyboard. I took on building this keyboard for many reasons:

  1. Bluetooth and portability
  2. Eliminating discomfort and pain from typing
  3. Increased personalized layouts and macros

Weekly Volleyball Highlight Videos

2023

I gave back to my former team by heping assistant coach and make highlight videos for them at each of their games. I filmed on with my phone a clip of every single point so that I could organize them by game and then by player. I then shared to them a cloud storage link to the folder so each one of the player’s best plays of that game for every game of the season could be watched and saved. I then used the best of those clips to assemble a highlight video every week for the games they had.

High School Video Project

2022

I was a part of a group that made a video project for a Dante’s Inferno assigned to us in English class. We decided we wanted it to be a sequel to our previous “Macbeth at Prom” project so it was a Macbeth x Dante’s Inferno idea, titled “Macbeth After High School | Dante’s Inferno”. I largely helped with the script writing, filmed most of the scenes, and completly edited the short film.
