Offline AI voice assistant
Personal projectRaspberry Pi 5
A complete voice assistant that runs with no internet: speech-to-text, local LLM inference, and text-to-speech all on the device. It’s private by design, so nothing you say leaves the Pi.
Personal portfolio
Hi, I’m Athena. I study Computer Science and Economics at the University of Rochester (class of 2027). I build projects where hardware meets software, like an offline AI voice assistant on a Raspberry Pi, and I make stylized 3D characters and animation in Blender.
Characters, animation, and whatever I’m trying out in Blender.
My animations
Hardware.
Software.
Things that move.
I like projects where code has to meet the physical world, and I’m looking for internships in robotics, embedded systems, and AI.

Hardware · embedded C
Built a robot car from a component kit and programmed it to react to its sensors. The fun part was getting the hardware and software to agree.
Human–Computer Interaction (CSC 211), University of Rochester
A navigation app for Rochester’s underground tunnels, which Google Maps and the official campus map don’t cover. It uses QR codes at junctions, landmark-based directions, and shows bathrooms, amenities, and step-free routes.

Internships in robotics, embedded systems, or AI, Blender collaborations, or just to talk about a cool 3D thing. Say hi.
