Alexander Chiu

Grade 10 student in Ontario, building toward Electrical Engineering at the University of Waterloo.

I'm teaching myself electronics and programming — circuits, microcontrollers, and small robots — and I write up what I build as I go. Away from the screen I play competitive tennis and chess, and I'm a sergeant in the Air Cadets.

Projects

• This website (alexanderchiu.net) — shipped
  A fast, no-framework personal site and engineering portfolio, built with Eleventy and deployed automatically to GitHub Pages.
• First Arduino circuit — blink, button, sensor — building
  Learning the fundamentals of microcontrollers: driving an LED, reading a button, and responding to a sensor on a breadboard.
• Line-following robot — planned
  A small robot that uses infrared sensors and motor control to follow a track — my first project combining electronics, code, and mechanics.
