Hey, I’m Jack
A curious mind.
A workbench.
A lot of ideas.
I build robots, write code, and occasionally strap a solar panel to my car. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
Santa Cruz, CaliforniaRobotic engineering · UCSC

From the workbench
A few things I’ve made.
SOLAR / A SLIGHTLY STUBBORN IDEAPowered by sunshine. And spite.
A $30 solar panel, a homemade battery, and a 3D printer that wasn’t going anywhere.
ASSISTIVE ROBOTICS
A helping hand. Literally.
Building a humanoid robotic arm, one idea at a time.
SMALL BUILD, REAL PURPOSE
Making a door a little easier.
An automatic unlocking device for a teacher with knee issues.
Mechanical things, software things, and the interesting bit in between.
Something you can play with
Make a gearbox.
Right in your browser.
Tweak it, watch it move, then export the parts. My cycloidal gear generator is free to use — no account or installation needed.

Part engineer.
Part “what if I tried this?”
I’m a UCSC student, a software engineer intern at PracticePicnic, and a big fan of Estonia. There’s a story behind the blue.
