Overview
Custom PCB for a battery-powered flood monitoring system. Integrates thermal imaging, environmental sensors, and LoRa communication for remote deployment in urban areas.
This was my first time designing a PCB. I taught myself KiCad and went from schematic to fabrication-ready Gerbers in a few weeks. Shoutout to Dr. Elizabeth Carter and Manu Shergill for the mentorship.
