For HackMIT 2025, I teamed up with John Xu, Archit Tamhane, and Thomas Li to make a silent alarm clock in 24 hours. Our objective was to create a vibration-based, under-the-pillow alarm clock that would solve the problem of heavy sleepers’ alarms waking up roommates.

We used a BLDC motor controlled by an ESP32, which talks over WiFi to a custom iOS app that we developed. Our team emerged as one of the few that reached panel judging.
