Solar powered lawnmower

Solar Powered Lawn Mower

In my Spring 2022 semester at NWACC, I collaborated with a team of 3 fellow students to design and build a solar powered lawnmower. Our aim was to build a sustainable lawnmower that is emission-free and charges using a free and renewable energy source. We utilized our knowledge of Autodesk Inventor, electronic design, soldering, hand and power tools, and design to complete this project. In order to complete the project on time, our group met frequently and maintained a rigorous timeline. The mower was designed with consideration for the standards given by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, and meets all requirements. It features a dual solar panel design which charges a 24V DC battery system. This allows the mower to be run even when it is cloudy.

Email Messaging Service API Endpoint

This backend messaging service was designed using REST standards, and was implemented using Spring Boot, Java 17, Lombok, and Maven. The service takes a request body over the endpoint /v1/message. It can then take data from the request body to send a message over SMTP to the specified email inbox. This service is mostly pre-configured to work with Gmail.

This project is a work in progress. Future scope of this service includes request validation and adding another field for phone number.
