Justin Michaud
Engineering student developing custom electronics, robotic systems, mechanical systems, and experimental hardware platforms. My work focuses on designing complete electromechanical systems, from PCB design and embedded firmware to mechanical integration and testing.
About Me.
I am an engineering student graduating in April with a strong interest in embedded systems, robotics, and aerospace hardware. Many of my projects involve designing custom electronics and integrating them into larger electromechanical systems.
My work typically combines PCB design, embedded firmware, and mechanical design to build experimental platforms that test new ideas. These projects range from small robotic systems and input devices to rocket avionics and custom microcontroller modules.
This portfolio documents the development of these systems, including the design decisions, challenges, and lessons learned throughout the process.
