Me
Howdy!
I am William Rohren, I am a senior Mechanical Engineering Major at Texas A&M University.
This site serves as a portfolio to display my various projects, as well as a blog so that I can have a log of the things I do.

Google Sites Portfolio Warning: There’s a reason I abandoned the old portfolio & remade it with Hugo.
Additional Reading
It’s because google sites kinda sucks in terms of how customizable it is. As you’ll see if you visit my old portfolio, there’s a navigation bar at the top, some with drop downs. But as far as the actual content goes, it’s really space inefficient. Under ‘Personal Projects > Big Projects’, to even see the SECOND item requires scrolling past all of the content in the first item.
I didn’t like it. So I thought of trying Hugo, and was given the idea by seeing other people using it (namely various Starforge members Brandon and Ismael to name two examples). I found a theme I liked, with blog-like posts and decided that was a suitable way to display my content.
One last note about formatting, once I have a lot more projects under my belt, I’d like to switch to a grid-like format, similar to one used by mitxela
Anyhow, the google sites portfolio linked above has a lot of my smaller projects on it. From 3D prints to school engineering club events, to VEX Robotics.
I expect that I will make posts dedicated to grouping these together. This is relatively low priority right now though, since the projects I have been able to do in college have been much more impactful than the projects I did in middle or high school. This is mostly related to money, as working on the RPS is allowing me to spend my own money on projects.
Feel free to email with any questions :)
One More Note
Please note while I try to keep it reasonably updated, it may not be perfect. I’ve done markdown with the RPS, but setting up a website like this is entirely new to me.
