Hello, I'm Arjun Kumar

I’m a senior at Leigh High School driven by curiosity about how the world works — from the physics behind motion and energy to the engineering that turns those principles into real innovations.

My passion lies at the intersection of mechanical engineering, computer science, and physics. I love building things from the ground up — coding intelligent systems, designing CAD models, and experimenting with robotics projects that bridge the gap between theory and reality.

Whether I’m simulating projectile motion for a trebuchet design, programming a machine vision robot using Raspberry Pi and OpenCV, or modeling mechanical systems for 3D printing, I’m constantly exploring how physics principles can power creative engineering solutions.

Take a look around — you’ll find my favorite projects, competitions, and designs that showcase how I bring science, logic, and creativity together to make ideas come to life.

Featured Projects

Fore Everyone

Crafted from the ground up, this dynamic website powers our golf business using a sleek blend of HTML, Python, and the FastAPI framework with Uvicorn—delivering a fast, modern, and seamless online experience.

Self-Driving AI Robot

An intelligent robotic car using Raspberry Pi 5, OpenCV, and a Hailo AI accelerator to detect lanes, avoid obstacles, and recognize faces in real-time.

Home Surveillance AI

This system processes video footage in real-time, leveraging AI/ML to identify (unknown) individuals and ignore irrelevant activity—making home security efficient, scalable, and actionable.

Wooden Trebuchet

I designed and built a working wooden trebuchet as part of a physics project, applying engineering principles and testing different arm ratios for maximum launch distance.

3D Printing Summer Camp

I led multiple beginner-friendly, 5-day summer camps where I taught students CAD, slicing, printer tuning, and design thinking using TinkerCAD and Fusion 360.
