Abhi Terala’s Portfolio of Things Worth Building
A mechanical engineering student’s personal site spanning a low-cost Braille printer, wheelchair accessibility hardware, high-pressure physics, nonprofit work, photography, and political theory.
Field notes
The homepage organizes its material as a set of visual cards rather than a conventional chronological résumé. Its technical work includes a Braille printer framed around a stated $200 price point, a wheelchair distance measurer made for Duke’s Director of Physical Accessibility, and an experiment involving n-hexane under 12 GPa between diamond anvils. The same page includes political-theory essay excerpts and identifies the author as a Duke mechanical engineering student and nonprofit board treasurer.
