Projects

Designed a system for a bicycle that tracks traffic from the rear and warns the rider if a vehicle is going to hit them. The design used an ESP32 µC to communicate with an AWR1642BOOST dev module. An LED Matrix displayed vehicles approaching from the rear, a blinking LED and buzzer activated if a vehicle’s direction of motion was toward the biker and a camera captured images and stored them onto an SD card in the case of a hit and run.

Designed a system using a C# GUI to control an application on a pic16. The application used FreeRTOS and had peripherals such as ADC, PWM, and used UART for communication.

Designed a system on a NEXYS 4 FPGA that used an ADC to read an analog signal, pass the signal through a passband FIR filter and output a PWM signal through a Kalman filter.

Electric scooter – Replaced two 12V lead acid batteries (27V max) with an 8p 8s 33.8V lithium-ion pack made from 18650s and two 16.8V battery manage systems. The shunt on the motor controller was bypassed to throw off the calibration to give the motor more torque.
