Hi, my name is Michael Day
Introduction
Hi, my name is Michael Day. I am an 18 year old student and aspiring entrepreneur in the Washington DC area. I am currently completing my senior year of Highschool at “The Governor’s School @ Innovation Park” and “Battlefield High school”. After high school I plan to serve a service mission in Ribeirão Preto Brazil, Portuguese speaking. I will then be attending Carnegie Mellon University where I plan to dual major in ECE (Electrical and Computer engineering) & AI (Artificial Intelligence). While in college I hope to become involved with the Swartz center for entrepreneurship and their startup incubator "Project Olympus". The rest of this webpage contains projects, hobbies and activities I am currently working on, and those I have been involved with in the past.
My Current Projects
TaskMaster
2022 - present
Taskmaster is a personal productivity and time management app built for students by students. Its first public release (Taskmaster 3.0) is set to launch in early 2024 on both the google play store and the apple app store. The app comes with a number of features including: Personal prioritization calculator, long scale planning and future management, Auto calculated Priority oriented to-do list and much more.
AstroSync Landing Page and customer funnel
2023 - Present
AstroSync is a digital marketing and media solutions company I founded in 2023, It specializes in running digital marketing campaigns for e-commerce brands in the USA.
The Long-Term Application of CO2 Mineral Sequestration Utilizing Hydrogels.
2022 - Present
This research project conducted at George Mason's science and technology campus, is concerned with the synthesis and characterization of organic based chitosan-alginate hydrogels infused with CO2 capturing agents such as amino acids and basalts. The project has been presented at a number of symposiums and research conferences, and is currently under review for publication.
My Completed Projects
Automatic Fire Extinguisher Robot Turret
2022-2023
This project is concerned with creating an automatic fire extinguisher robotic turret that could connect to the ceiling and could be activated through a thermal camera and smoke sensors 24/7 to prevent house fires that occurred during sleep.
Personal safety bench press spotter
2023
This project saw the construction of a voice-activated bench-press spotter designed for gyms where the user would likely not have a spotter. The product consisted of a programmable voice-activated sensor that could be personalized for the user's “safe” word. After activation, two high-power DC motors would turn a shaft raising two after-bars with safety locks that would lock in the weight and then raise it back to the starting position allowing the user to safely complete their workout.
AI Battleship
2024
This project took the well-known and much beloved game of battleship and turned it into an AI Colosseum. This project had to AI's who would face off against each other using two separate algorithms. A number of games would then be played tallying up the wins of each bot to determine the most efficient algorithm.

TaskMaster
After polling the student body in our area we found that many of our peers faced extreme procrastination when it came to completing key tasks and assignments so we made a student centric solution made by students for students. Key features include an auto generated priority list catered to your specific tasks and time frame, interactive collaboration features for group project management, and a soon to be added AI chat bot assistant. Coming late 2024

The Long-Term Application of CO2 Mineral Sequestration Utilizing Hydrogels.
The excessive release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is a significant environmental concern that elevates global temperatures, compromises air quality, and increases the risk of respiratory disease. Utilizing previously created chitosan-alginate hydrogels incorporated with amino acid aqueous solutions, the combination of different basalts with amino acids was tested for their ability of mineral sequestration. The hypothesis that the addition of these minerals would increase stability and reduce the carbon concentration in a controlled environment was tested. The hydrogel structure was formed with chitosan and alginate. Chitosan, having the characteristics of a biopolymer, offers high biodegradability making it ideal for hydrogel creation. Similarly, alginate was chosen due to its low toxicity, biocompatibility, and structural integrity making it efficient in retaining carbon. An aqueous solution of two different amino acids was mixed with a buffer solution to maintain optimal pH. The addition of powdered minerals was also mixed into these hydrogels in different combinations to see which was optimal for carbon capture. To evaluate the hydrogels, a CO2 pad was placed in an airtight container for 15 minutes simulating an industrial plant's atmosphere, and carbon concentration was recorded via a sensor. After 15 minutes, the hydrogels were placed in the container, and CO2 levels were monitored every 5 minutes for 45 minutes. The data was then organized into a line graph to show carbon levels over time.

Painting
While not proficient in other art forms I often like to paint. When I was young I liked to watch Bob ross and when I grew a bit I tried my hand at the canvas as well. While at first it was quite a mess I got the point in my middle schools years where I entered art gala competitions and ended when i won 1st place in the region. I no longer paint for galas but often use it was a nice stress-free leisure and vacation activity
Skiing
Coming soon.
