Voxogram Volumetric Display
Fourth-year capstone project, built with a team of four. We designed and built a volumetric display: a rapidly rotating screen that renders true 3D content viewable from any angle. Full details are in the project poster.
About
I'm a Computer Engineering grad (BASc with distinction, UWaterloo 2024) currently doing embedded software and FPGA development at Extentcom, where I build wireless communication systems for industrial, government, and defense customers. Earlier co-op terms at Extentcom, PointClickCare, Empire Life, and Terrestrial Energy gave me experience across the stack, from RTL and firmware to full-stack web development.
Outside of work I tinker with IoT projects — ESP32 and Arduino builds, Home Assistant automations, 3D printing. I'm also planning a YouTube channel documenting my coding projects, embedded design work, and desk setup builds. Beyond that: sports, fitness, reading, and a long-running interest in space exploration.
