Introduction

Welcome to my personal portfolio - a space where I share not only what I've accomplished, but who I am as a person and as an upcoming engineer.

I'm an individual who learns fast, thinks analytically, and cares a lot - about my impact, my team, developing ideas, and about doing great work.

I'm especially drawn toward embedded systems, machine learning, robotics, real-time systems.

Long-term, I aim to grow my skillset such that I can help build technologies that are thoughtful, carefully designed, and provide genuine utility.

Thank you for taking the time to view my work!

Projects

ESP32 Camera

Passion Project • Embedded Systems • June - Present

THIS IS IN PROGRESS! Currently undergoing an internship, 2 Summer courses, balancing social life and physical activity! This shall unravel slowly...

Currently, I'm doing research on making this project work.
I have forked the repo for the camera drivers.
The ESP32-S3 Microcontroller + Camera module is arriving soon. The LCD screen already arrived.

This project idea sparked because of my love for taking photos.

Tools: ESP32, Arduino IDE, C

PCB Design for Wearable Health Monitor

Passion Project • Embedded Systems • Summer 2025

Designed the PCB for a wearable health monitor as a hands-on project to explore PCB design, I2C communication, embedded systems, and CAD. Using KiCad, I created custom PCB layouts based on existing commercial modules and integrated components like the MAX30102 pulse oximeter and SSD1306 OLED display. This project involved debugging communication issues, refining circuit design, and learning how to work with sensor data in real-time using an Arduino microcontroller.

Tools: KiCad, Arduino, I2C protocol, Embedded C

Media:

Multimodal Data Fusion for Emotion Recognition

CSCE790 • Neuromorphic & Edge Computing • Spring 2025

Group final project. I developed the multimodal data fusion model, which took the outputs of a Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) CNN model and a Sentiment Analysis (SA) model. Through concatenation, a simple but effective data fusion technique, our group achieved higher accuracy than either unimodal approach.

Our group won an opportunity for a free submission to the ICML conference - this was awarded by our professor, Dr. Ramtin Zand.

Multithreaded two-way group chat

CSCE491 • Computer Networks • Fall 2024

Implemented a group chat system on the command line. TCP sockets were used to ensure reliable and orderly messaging. Due to multiple clients being allowed, they were tracked using a hashmap.

Embedded Systems

CSCE313 • Embedded Systems • Fall 2024

Developed bare metal embedded system. Configured the peripheral connections, debugged the system and JTAG and USB issues. With this project I developed a solid foundation for embedded systems design. I also explored implementing a mode-switchable system, modularity, and expanding features. By the end of the semester, I implemented VGA output, managed memory mapping, and pixel addressing.

Tools: Cyclone IV FPGA, Nios II processor, Quartus Prime, C, Verilog

Analysis of RC and RLC Filters

ELCT221 • Circuits II • Spring 2024

Group lab project. Used circuits and breadboards to create RC lowpass, RC highpass, and RLC Bandpass filters. Simulated each circuit configuration on LTSpice, and compared real vs. simulation. Analog Discovery's WaveForms software was used to display oscilloscope results. Our group analyzed magnitude and phase transfer plots for each circuit, as well as their corner frequency.

Up/Down Un/Sat Counter

CSCE211 • Digital Logic Design • Fall 2023

One of my personal favorite projects. This furthered my excitement for pursuing ECE.

Group project, cumulative from other gorup projects throughout the semester. We were tasked to create, from scratch (and handwritten karnaugh maps), a counter. This would be done exclusively through digital logic (AND, NOT, OR gates). Flip Flops (JK flip flop in this case) were also made by hand. The user could toggle whether the counter would saturate or not, or whether it'd count up or down.
