I'm an electrical engineering student at Tennessee Technological University building toward embedded systems, PCB design, robotics, product development, power electronics, and engineering automation.
My projects focus on real hardware systems: ESP32-based robotics, custom PCBs, battery protection, EDA automation, and software tools that support physical products.
- Embedded systems and ESP32-based hardware
- PCB design, power distribution, and battery protection
- Robotics and electromechanical product development
- AI-assisted EDA workflows with Codex, MCP, and EasyEDA Pro
- Practical engineering documentation with schematics, test results, and revision history
I use status terms carefully: Active means I am currently developing it, Prototype means an implementation exists or is being assembled/tested, and Design means the engineering design work exists but validation may still be in progress.
Status: Active robotics platform
I am building this as a multidisciplinary robotics project using ESP32 control, servo and motor systems, Bluetooth gamepad input, 3D-printed mechanisms, audio, sensors, battery power, and a path toward a consolidated custom controller PCB.
Repo: wall-e-robotics-platform
Status: Active engineering automation work
I am experimenting with Codex, EasyEDA Pro, MCP tooling, and local models to explore how AI agents can inspect, reason about, and assist with electronics design workflows.
Status: PCB design / electrical design project
I designed this board to practice battery protection, voltage thresholds, schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, and practical power-electronics documentation.
Repo: low-voltage-cutoff-pcb
Status: Prototype robotics project
I built this robotics project around servo control, 3D-printed mechanisms, embedded programming, and multi-axis hardware integration.
Repo: dual-robotic-arms
Status: Prototype embedded vehicle project
I built this ESP32-CAM vehicle to combine live video, browser control, Xbox controller support, L298N motor drive, soldered wiring, power conversion, and 3D-printed chassis work.
Repo: web-controlled-rc-car
My software background supports my engineering work. I build utilities, web tools, cloud-connected systems, and automation when they help hardware projects, documentation, testing, or product workflows.
Recent examples include:
- Word-Math: Windows tray utility for evaluating arithmetic directly inside Microsoft Word with a global hotkey.
- Macro: Desktop tray utility for opening frequently used folders with custom global hotkeys.
- wchowellarchive: Firebase-hosted engineering portfolio and project archive.
- College Choice Hub: Student college-preference web app archive originally built with PHP, SQL, and AJAX, then migrated to Firebase.
- CashCamel: Firebase web app archive for friend-group contracts, deposits, withdrawals, and agreement-based workflows.
These are earlier projects I still like keeping visible because they show how long I have been building things, experimenting with tools, and finishing playable or usable work.
- Hollow Clock: 3D-printed magnetic clock using an RP2040 Zero and stepper motor.
- Platformer UE4 Game: Early Unreal Engine 4 platformer project.
- GameCentralCS: Firebase-hosted Unreal Engine HTML5 game collection archive.
Project archive and portfolio:
I am building toward roles in consumer electronics, product development, embedded systems, PCB/electronics design, robotics, R&D, and power electronics.
My long-term goal is to become the kind of electrical engineer who can design, prototype, debug, document, and improve complete real-world products.
