In the previous installment of bastardizing the English language fun wordplay with Randall, we made a sentence-to-map-directions solver based on XKCD 2260. This time, we're in for something a little more scientific: a sentence-to-units solver based on the recent XKCD 2312. This time with unit symbols, we'v…

Compared to the control and mechanical build, the electronics are straightforward enough. To put the simplicity of the circuitry in perspective, it would be trivial to pull out the main controller and hook everything into a radio receiver. Only lights and the safety control loop would be cut out of that design…

The mechanical build of this tail was designed so that the hand drill I had access to would be the only power tool, along with 3D-printed motor holders from Treatstock. I'm no machinist, whatsoever. If you have the budget, the design is pretty accessible…

I got a good laugh out of this recent XKCD strip, partly because I love puns, and partly because it's pretty hypocritical for Cueball to express his disdain for a one with 9 more…

Research on the efficiency and positioning abilities of these types of linear motors for the Extended Essay in Physics…

As part of victory spoils, UofT's success in 2017 came with control over the competition shirt. I volunteered and inherited the responsibility, then promptly hot-potato'd it onto my computer to make most of the visually-interesting material. This emphasis on form was spurred by constraints on the color palette …

Cheesy? Maybe. Probably. Very. But the iconic trope of waving a sharp around an enemy and... for a split second, nothing happening! Then, the various segmented parts of the body start sliding along perfect planes onto the floor... it's timeless. Reality has a sad shortage of frictionless atom-thick blades, but …

BlueDot Inc. is a company that analyzes the propagation of disease worldwide. With that description, it was a pleasant shock to be a part of an in-house Design Team in the summer of 2017. Getting to know BlueDot's products, with lots of data backing software and print products that needed to read crystal-…

People love rainbows. The problem is that forecasters lack the... well, foresight, to give the people the lucious rainbow details they want. The idea to fill this gaping hole in supply came from Akira Kakkar at MHacks 6, and I'm lucky to call him, Jenny Zhang and Philip Tsang my co-developers on the project for tho…

Monstercat, an electronic label out of Vancouver, is near and dear to me since I grew into electronic music as Monstercat grew. If no part of its identity is spotless, at least the visualizer is and remains iconic without debate, even if not without its own slew of complaints. 63 bars, an equally stark Gotham prese…

Designed new iconset and UI for RS3 v2, created highly stylized illustrations and print handouts for conferences, heavy SQL crunching dirty CRM data.

Greenvilla Homes, with the development of its recent flagship project in late 2015, wanted a modernization of their web image.

WAC, which pulls hundreds of students from around the GTA, required a major rebrand and legitimate web presence. The conference also needed to increase conversion rates through an intuitive registration system and beautiful advertising. See Registration package & Delegate package.

Antigone: the great Greek classic. A story of betrayal, mefiance and dirty family politics. The school's modernized production of it deserved advertising to match its gritty story.

HyperX Systems, an IT infrastructure maintainer in the Eastern US, wanted a fresh take at their brand online to replace their archaic image.

Shad Valley 2013: Improving the efficiency of human-powered transportation by making the backpack quick-access. Print advertisement and website designs.

As an intern with the City, in the unique and ever-interesting proxying role of the Open Data dept., I helped develop an internal tool to manage public interactions.

Convergence: oldest and largest newspaper of Upper Canada College. As the layout editor and a co-editor to the publication, I modernized the design, diversifying the visual content and expanding the freedom of writers.

Co-founder and head of DM&CS Club (as it is affectionately abbreviated). Taught web design and computer science to younger years, fostered community of competitive coders and UI aficiandos alike.
