Hi, I'm Nicolas Capetillo! I'm a second-year Computer Engineering student at Texas Tech University with a passion for robotics and hardware applications. My projects range from robotics and automation to programming and hardware applications, where I enjoy combining creativity with technical skills to bring ideas to life. Outside of academics, I'm involved in student organizations that let me collaborate with others and explore professional and academic opportunities. These organizations include the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Robotics and Advanced Tech Society, and the Hispanic Student Society. This website is my portfolio, which I am using as a space to share my work, track my progress, and showcase the projects that represent my journey as an engineer in the making.
Welcome to my projects page. This page displays my experience in working with various programming languages.
Over the past two years I have developed expereince in C/C++, Python, Arduino, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
JavaScript/HTML/CSS Projects:
Texas Tech Quiz Game
Texas Tech Quiz Game is a trivia based website that I made using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Test out your knowledge and see how much you know about our great campus. This project helped me strengthen my foundations in all three of these programming languages which helped me develop this portfolio over time. Scroll down to see the individual files displaying my coding struture for this project.

Python Projects
Mystery Digits
Mystery Digits is a game that I made using python/pygame. This project was used my freshman year for my HONS 1301 course where I was tasked with demonstrating how humans interact with machines in a way that corresponds with my major. While this game may look like a normal number guessing game at first, it was programmed to be impossible to win. I did this to talk about the topic of my project which was how humans would interact with a cheating system. Below is the files detailing the structure of my code.
Mystery Digits.py
Manages the main game loop and menu system.
Menu.py
Contains all menu classes and game logic for round 1.
Game.py
Entry point of the game. This file begins the application.
C/C++ Projects:
Traffic Lights Project
This project was created using arduino hardware and software. The basis of this project was to program an arduino board to simulate the traffic lights at the intersection of two streets.
Hardware Diagram/Code Structure
7 Segment Display Project
The purpose of this project was to program an Arduino board to accept a 4-bit binary input and display the numerical value (0 to 9) on a 7-Segment LED display.
Digital VU Meter
The purpose of this project was to program an arduino board to accept an analog input voltage and display the magnitude of the voltage using a 10 LED display.
