About Me
Hi, I'm Lucy Talley — I Build Hardware That Solves Real Problems
I'm a computer engineering student and inventor based in Denver, CO. I specialize in embedded systems, IoT devices, and hardware that bridges the physical and digital worlds. From solar-powered wireless camera networks to voice-enabled smart devices, I design and build things from the ground up — circuit to code.
What I Do
I turn ideas into real, working hardware. Whether it's a solar-powered wireless camera network for a construction site or a voice-enabled IoT device, I handle the full build — from circuit design to embedded programming to deployment.
My Projects
Wireless Solar-Powered Camera System
Wireless Solar-Powered Camera System
Wireless Solar-Powered Camera System
A fully off-grid surveillance solution designed for construction sites. Powered entirely by solar panels, this wireless camera system operates without any external power infrastructure. Built from scratch, including custom enclosures, power management circuitry, and wireless transmission — deployable anywhere the sun shines.
Talking Hair Straightener
Wireless Solar-Powered Camera System
Wireless Solar-Powered Camera System
A voice-enabled IoT hair straightener that talks back. Embedded with audio feedback, temperature sensing, and a custom microcontroller, this device announces its status, warns when it's hot, and confirms when it's safe to leave unattended. A proof of concept that everyday appliances can be made smarter.
Box Tracking System

Box Tracking System
A computer vision system that uses a webcam to automatically detect, track, and follow a moving box in real time. Built with Python and OpenCV, it processes live video to identify the target, calculate its position, and can relay tracking coordinates to a physical camera mount or trigger automated responses based on object movement.
