ACADEMICS PROJECTS: Planting Made Easy (Spring 2014): Created User Interface that accurately monitors important factors of plant

growth: temperature of the soil, moisture of the soil, acidity/pH level of the soil, and the amount of the sunlight. It allows users to monitor plants, gardens, and provide great insight into the growing condition from anywhere in the world to make gardening experience much simple and less stressful for the user.

o Won Gold Medal (First Place) for this project at the UIC Engineering Expo (04/22/2014) Programmable logic controller (PLC) project (Fall 2006): Programmed PLC and demonstrated how to control

all the machineries at the same time using light bulbs.
