Smart Bartender

Phase 1: Initial Design

Started with the basic concept, drafting the system’s requirements, and selecting key components like relays and pumps for automating drink preparation.

Phase 2: UI Design and Improvement

This phase involves designing and improving the user interface to allow users to select drinks.

Phase 3: Hardware Selection and Testing

In this phase, the focus is on selecting the appropriate hardware for the smart bartender.

Phase 4: Building the Smart Bartender (Current)

This final phase involves integrating both the hardware and software to build a fully functioning smart bartender.

I designed the power system for an electric go-kart, utilizing six batteries connected in series and parallel to provide the required voltage and current for a DC motor.

As a side project, I designed and built a functional taser while adhering to safety standards in high-voltage circuit design and power regulation.
