Notes, in progress.

Longer explanations than a tweet, shorter than a textbook — logs from coursework, research, and side projects.

The Case for Compliant Mechanisms in Soft Robotics

Why monolithic flexures often beat assembled joints for small-scale soft robots, and the design rules I keep coming back to.

Simulating Fluid Dynamics with Lattice Boltzmann Methods

A practical, code-first introduction to LBM for engineering students who already know Navier–Stokes but haven't simulated anything.

Why Mechatronics Students Should Learn Rust

Embedded C is fine. Rust gives you the same control plus a borrow checker that catches the bugs that actually take down your robot.
