ivy107 is my project home

I diverse myself in the activities and projects I take part of. However, I often find thats is hard to put what I can do on a resume...
So I built a website.

Programming

Applying the programming skills I learn to something tangible is key for me. Otherwise, I will dismiss it; just as we all dismissed indigenous rocks in elelmentary school (No offense to archeologists). I primarily program in Python, Java, and soon, C.

Leadership

To lead for control is not my philosophy. To be a leader is to actively distinguish yourself to show you are willing to go the extra mile for the team. Whether I’m leading a social justice event or a lab project, I make sure that quality is implemented throughout every task at hand.

engineering

For me, engineering is to design art with more than a visual appeal, engineering takes an issue at face value, and solves it while maintaining stylistic aesthetic and mechanical functionality. I model my designs in Solidworks.

Creating the task at hand

Every project has a story behind it. And often time those stories have lessons behind them. When I have an idea for a product, it always stems from some issue or problem I encounter. Instead of saying, “I wish there were a tool to help me…” I say:

“I’m going to make a tool to help me…”
and then I get to work.

First, it all gets laid out on paper. Then I take to CAD modeling and rapid prototyping (RP). After several trials of mechanical faults, programming errors, and making the aesthetic just a little more appealing, then and only then can it start to resemble a finished product. I don’t believe products and projects can ever genuinely be complete because they can always be made better; there can still be upgrades. Maybe I can add a cup holder to it. Who knows?
