Skills

Web Design

I like to try new things, building websites is one of them. Garths.world is the second site that I have made. The first one I made in Albania as a part of a historical conservation project. Check it out at Xhubleta.org.

Arduino

Along with coding, I have been developing an interest in robotics and electronics. My main project has been a quadcopter run using an Arduino Uno and a 3D printed body.

Python

I started programming in high school and have picked it up again after college. I use python to explore topics in Machine Learning, web development, and more.

Inventor Fusion

In addition to Solidworks, I have experience with other modeling software such as Inventor. I also have experience with Autocad, Maya, and ZBrush.

3D Printing

I have always been excited about creating and realizing different ideas. 3D printing has been a great way to rapidly prototype ideas. I use a Prusa MK2S printer with MMU for projects.

Solidworks

I have been working with Solidworks for the past 10 years on various school and personal projects. I earned my expert certification in mechanical design from Dassault Systemes.
