Hey, I'm Solan.
I'm a computer science student at Clark. I build software, robots, embedded hardware, and random systems I probably could have left alone.
I usually end up working on whatever part is broken. Sometimes that is TypeScript. Sometimes it is Linux networking. Sometimes it is a motor that refuses to move for a completely different reason than I expected.

Moving a LoCoBot from ROS1 to ROS2 and getting vision, sensors, networking, and motor control to work together.
- ai trashcan
A colleague and I received a $5,000 Clark AI Innovation Fund grant to build a computer-vision trashcan that sorts waste with a physical mechanism.

Helping run Clark's makerspace and fixing equipment when projects get more complicated than expected.
- homelab
Running TrueNAS, Tailscale, self-hosted CI, databases, analytics, and too many Linux machines.
