Robotics & 3D Printing Internship Projects

During my R&D internship at New Bedford Research & Robotics, I developed and deployed robotic solutions, including automated pick-and-place systems, object position prediction, and custom 3D-printed components. One of the highlights was using the robot in a ribbon-cutting ceremony event, which was covered in local news.

Calorie Counter Application using NoSQL

This project is a calorie tracking app that allows users to log meals, track calorie intake, and receive health feedback. It features CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for meal management, user registration, and integrates with a food database. Built with Python, Kivy, and MongoDB, the app helps users monitor their health over time.
