Projects
Here are some of the projects I have worked on.
TAS (Telemetry Acquisition System)
As the telemetry lead for rocket launchers, I contributed to developing a custom circuit board to gather extensive data during rocket flights. The system captures critical information including temperature, velocity, acceleration, pressure, and rotation for comprehensive flight analysis.
TAS GUI
A graphical user interface for the Telemetry Acquisition System, designed to visualize and analyze rocket flight data in real-time.
Image Rest API
A REST API service that extracts pixel data from public image URLs and returns it as JSON. Originally developed for Garry's Mod game integration, using Jimp library for image processing.
Portfolio Website
A personal portfolio website built with Next.js to showcase and share my work. This project served as a learning experience to explore Next.js while building upon existing React.js knowledge.
Semester Project
An access control system combining server, client application, and Raspberry Pi. Users input physical codes through GPIO pins, which are verified against an SQL database to grant application access.
About Me
Hello, My name is Ramon Garcia Jr
I was born and grew up in the Rio Grande Valley. As a young child, I was always fascinated by how things worked. My grandmother would tell me a story about how when I was young I would stand by the window for hours watching as machines built my neighborhood around me. Growing up I don't think I ever lost this wonder but rather found a way to channel it. I love to tinker with stuff, build stuff and yes break stuff.
