King of Fremont — The Film

King of Fremont is the untold story of a mysterious solo artist from Fremont who quietly built one of the internet's most staggering underground rises. With 100M+ views, viral reach, and real engagement from global superstars, this documentary unpacks how a quiet outsider turned heads at the top without industry backing, press, or explanation. Part myth, part truth, part breakdown, part breakthrough — this is the raw, unfiltered story of the popular loner who cracked the system while no one was looking.

Engineering Project

Myoelectric Bionic Hand Prototype

A six-year, self-driven build: forearm sensors captured muscle signals, software mapped intent, and a 3D-printed hand executed precise movement.

Signal Processing

Surface sensors read forearm activity and translated it into control signals.

Mechanical Design

3D-printed frame, stepper motors, and tendon-like strings produced motion.

Control Software

Custom code mapped electrical patterns to individual finger actions.
