Starting in the winter of December 2023 I started to teach myself beginner-intermediate coding languages like CSS, C++, and HTML. While doing this I created a small personal website that I plan on using to showcase my personal projects. I also spent a lot of time, looking into and experimenting with smaller project ideas like motion tracking and simple app development. Later I also found an interest in small circuit boards which led me to buy some raspberry pi microcontrollers and electronic/soldering kits. For one of my first soldering projects i decided to make an LED dice panel with a small 5 by 8 perforated board that would roll with a push of a button. One of the first things I did when I got back to my college campus was make small attachment for my lamp that control it with a servo motor controlled by a small microcontroller. Now in my organization Aggie Create, I am apart of a small team working on a automated blinds attachment module mainly working on the electronic and software planning and execution.
