As part of my senior Capstone project in the course "The Art of Product Engineering" as UCSD, I decided to lead a 4-person team to develop an automatic Protein Dispenser. As someone who pursues bodybuilding as a hobby and who generally consumes in products and content related to health, fitness and gym culture, I felt it was appropriate to utilize my software and hardware skills to develop a product myself and my peers would enjoy.

As team leader of this project I played the role Front-end Engineer, UI/UX Lead, and Prototype lead. Additionally, I was in charge of creating weekly update videos for class feedback, reporting on our progress. This included regular stand-up meetings, sprints and task assignment.

Personally, I built the web application with HTML, CSS and JavaScript and mocked/designed early layouts in Figma. I was also in charge of designing the STL models needed for 3D printing hardware parts and the overall design of our physical protoype. I aided in the backend connection between our web app and raspberry pi that controlled the mechanisms behind the prototypes dispensing.
