We work with LiDAR, computer vision, Raspberry Pi 4s, and Python. Whether it's coding a Traxxas Bronco to drive itself or designing a rocket with Space Force, my mission is to build the future of autonomous systems from the ground up.
I'm Mflash, the founder of NOVA (Navigational Operations Vehicle Autonomy Club), founder of the CyberPatriot team (cybersecurity defense competition), founder of the Computer Science & AI Club, and founder of our Stellar Xplorer (Space Design competition with the Space Force) team. I've been into tech for a long time and I love learning new languages, coding real-world projects, growing my network, and making new friends!
Skills: Windows Management, Linux Hardening, RC Car Modding, Cisco Networking, Python, Java (FRC), AI Prompting, NJROTC, Math Team (Captain)
The NOVA Rover that our club has worked on over the past year is a Traxxas Ford Bronco. We added a LiDAR on top as well as cameras, cut out space to put a Raspberry Pi 4 inside to manage data handling, and coded it in Python to recognize objects and avoid them while driving.
These scripts in the GitHub repo are for use in the CyberPatriot competitions to harden Windows and Linux virtual machines on the basic and fundamental steps, like changing admin passwords, turning on firewalls, and deleting malicious files. We got 20th nationwide out of over 350 teams.

Stellar Xplorers is a team that I founded with the help of my NJROTC unit, where we are designing a rocket to launch into space and return back to Earth. We have also designed a payload that can collect data from space and bring it back to Earth.
This is one of my favorite projects I have worked on because of the time spent making it, and how it has helped over 80 teams in our area get started and do well in their first competitions. The program is a full bash toolkit which you can download and use directly with a USB drive on the virtual machine. It automates auditing, firewall setup, password protection, malicious software deletion, and service hardening for Windows + Ubuntu.
