→ Hey, I'm Miguel
Welcome to my site! I am a student and researcher focused on robotics, embedded and distributed systems, and low level programming. I’ve been a part of robotics for nearly a decade throughout my youth and through to the present day.
I am currently an undergrad pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I have also been lucky enough to pursue research at Cal Poly, both over Summer 2024 and continuing this Winter Quarter 2025. I am deeply involved with a number of organizations on campus, chief among them being our robotics(link to website) team, which I have contributed to steadily and significantly throughout the past several years.
I also work on a number of personal projects, including the very website you are reading right now. The tools and journey used to build this site are pretty cool, so check out my own writeup, as well as the core tool for generation Quartz, (which has a link at the bottom of every page) if you’ve got the time. Quickly, for the sake of clarity, the search bar in the top left searches all text on all pages for the provided keyword and the explorer lists all the additional content pages that make up the site organized by folder. Further, the graph view demonstrates connections between pages at a depth of two links of distance, the dark orange highlighted node represents the current page, light orange nodes represent previously visited pages, and grey nodes represent unvisited pages, allowing for high levels of navigability. Finally, the backlinks listed are pages that have linked to the current page and allow for seamless backwards traversal. Also, keep in mind that a number of these pages are works in progress and lack further more in-depth write ups due to the time constraint of migrating all previous iterations of the website to this current version using the new tools, and creating a new organizational structure that agrees more with the graph traversal structure of the current site.
