Hi, I'm Aiden Erard.
I'm a Computer Engineering student at Georgia Tech. I chose Computer Engineering because I didn't want to choose between hardware and software. I wanted to understand both.
Most of my time outside class goes into personal projects, from autonomous drones to power monitoring systems to AI-powered apps. The one I've invested the most in is Verus, an AI-powered platform for subsurface infrastructure inspection that I hope to keep building long into the future.
I'm still figuring out exactly where to focus, whether that's robotics, embedded systems, or autonomous vehicles, but I want to keep building things that are useful and keep pushing myself technically. Read more about me →
Projects
Verus
AI-powered data analysis platform for subsurface infrastructure inspection. It uses GPR, ultrasound, and thermal imaging to collect data from structures like bridges, then runs it through AI/ML models to surface insights that would otherwise require manual interpretation.
SOAR
Autonomous aerial system concept for public safety, focused on mission objectives, use-case evaluation, ethical considerations, and intelligent policing drone development.
GridGuard
Power monitoring system with weather-aware risk insights, built on Raspberry Pi and Arduino with a companion web app.
Tempr
AI-powered music app that queues Spotify tracks based on your mood, photos, and calendar, using Gemini AI and the Spotify API.
Discovery Project
Personal project for ECE 1100 at Georgia Tech, focused on developing foundational ECE skills through hands-on engineering challenges.
Georgia Tech CS
