MICA
MICA is highly tailored iOS app designed to refine and centralize the essential clinical workflows in my intensive care unit for a more intuitive bedside experience. Built as a digital "utility belt," the app currently consists of four modules: a Fick calculator for portable hemodynamic math that features the ability to save calculations for later reference; UltraCalc for dynamic CRRT management, which allows a clinician to calculate optimal UF rates and differentiate between shift responsibilities and 24-hour goals; DEViCE Lite for structured data recording from devices like the Impella for easy transcription into the patient electronic medical record; and a phone directory or Logistics Hub for tap-to-call hospital communication that can be reorganized to the user’s preferences. The platform's strength lies in this underlying modularity, serving as a proof of concept for how bedside needs can be rapidly addressed by adding, removing, or even reorganizing specific components to suit the protocols of any unit. By consolidating these core tasks into a single interface, MICA simplifies complex bedside logistics and keeps the clinician’s focus where it belongs: the patient.
PIV Insertion Tracker: An R Shiny Dashboard
Built with R and Shiny, this dashboard automatically tracks and visualizes PIV insertion performance metrics from a live GitHub data source. The project demonstrates how clinicians can build custom analytics tools without expensive software or a computer science background. It turns routine clinical documentation into immediate feedback that supports both skill development and quality improvement initiatives.
DripMap
DripMap is a tool that streamlines the visualization of complex infusion setups in critical care environments. By inputting medication and venous access point information, DripMap automatically generates a diagram that helps map out how infusions and lines are organized.
Enhanced Compat Mode
Patients in the ICU often require multiple simultaneous infusions, making it essential to ensure drug compatibility between the infusions. Enhanced Compat Mode allows clinicians to select all the infusions the patient is receiving, and it generates the best possible groupings based on compatibility constraints while minimizing the number of lumens required. It simplifies complex decisions by optimizing infusion combinations through automation.
Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Ultrafiltration Rate Calculators
The Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Ultrafiltration Rate Calculators are tools designed to assist healthcare professionals in managing fluid balance for patients undergoing CRRT by providing accurate calculations of ultrafiltration (UF) rates by factoring in patient-specific inputs like fluid intake, output, and 24-hour balance goals. With both basic and advanced modes, these calculators offer flexibility and precision to streamline decision-making, all while serving as an educational aid to support clinical judgment.
ModuLine
ModuLine is a physical line management device intended to prevent IV line tangling and improve infusion organization at the bedside. It’s a minimalist apparatus for secure organization of IV lines, cords, and tubing. Designed as a streamlined clamp-style attachment, it mounts onto a hospital bed’s side rail, providing a dedicated bracket to reduce tangling, prevent dislodgement, and protect equipment. The goal is to enhance safety and efficiency by providing a structured system for managing multiple infusions.
DIY Ultrasound Phantom Pad
This project explores a low-cost, DIY approach to building an ultrasound-guided IV phantom using ballistic gel, silicone tubing, and basic materials. Designed to mimic soft tissue and vascular access under ultrasound, the phantom offers an affordable alternative to commercial models, which makes it ideal for students, educators, and clinicians looking to sharpen their skills without the high price tag.
DIY Antibiotic Mixer
The DIY Antibiotic Mixer is a compact and low-cost alternative to commercial vortex mixers, designed specifically to rapidly reconstitute difficult antibiotics like piperacillin/tazobactam (Zosyn), reducing mixing time from 5-10 minutes to less than a minute.
DEViCE
DEViCE (Data Extraction from Visual Capture for Examination) is an iOS application designed to streamline the process of organizing and transposing data from medical device screens, addressing a common workflow issue where nurses must manually record data from device screens with paper and pencil and then transfer it to the electronic health record.
Life
aso
aso is a dog walking app for iOS. The project's core functionality is a Dual Timer System that accurately distinguishes between active walking time and dedicated "sniff time" , achieved through both a manual control and an adjustable Automatic Sniff Detection mode. Beyond standard GPS route and distance recording, Aso calculates a unique "Adjusted Speed" based only on active time, providing a clear performance metric free of exploration stops. The application is built with a strong focus on data privacy, featuring local storage (JSON format) and a full GPX export capability, eliminating the need for subscriptions, ads, or internet connectivity during a walk.
Dog Lamp
Utilizing Arduino, 3D printing, and minor woodworking, I built a night light for my dog.
Lynero
Lynero is a web-based teleprompter tool that lets users input custom text and control how it scrolls or highlights word by word. With adjustable font size, line spacing, and pacing, it’s ideal for rehearsing speeches, songs, or spoken word. Designed for simplicity and clarity, Lynero enhances focus and timing for performers and presenters alike.
A mobile version of Lynero exists to support users who rehearse on the go. It’s designed to be fully responsive, allowing speakers, singers, and performers to access and interact with their scripts easily from any phone or tablet. With touch-friendly controls and clear, scalable text, Lynero adapts to small screens without sacrificing functionality or focus.
Guitar Pedals
This section delves into the background and schematics of each build, offering a glimpse into the inspiration, design, and technical details behind my custom guitar effects. From tweaked classics to hybrid circuits, each pedal represents a journey of sonic exploration. Whether you're a fellow builder looking to recreate these designs or simply curious about what goes into crafting a unique tone, you'll find schematics, component lists, sound demos, and insights into the development process for each project. Explore the circuits, listen to the sounds, and discover the stories behind these handcrafted stompboxes.
Arduino-Based True Bypass System for Guitar Pedals
A DIY project for guitar pedal builders that is a relay-based bypass system. This offers a smoother, quieter, and more flexible solution. Inspired by the Incandenza Bypass by Demedash Effects, the Flexi-Switch system by EarthQuaker Devices, and MAS Effects’ open-source work, I set out to develop my own smart bypass system that integrates both momentary and latching functionality using an Arduino-controlled relay.
