Project Experience

Fall Detection Unit Personal Project

Currently building a fall detection device for use as a medical alarm

Writing C and using the 16-bit TI MSP430G2553 low-power microcontroller as the project’s platform

Implemented SPI protocol in software to interface with an accelerometer, triggering interrupts during falls

Currently integrating Internet of Things (IoT) capability to alert emergency contacts LaunchPad Invaders Embedded Systems Course

Wrote C to build an LCD-based Space Invaders game. Built on a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller

Implemented design using GPIOs, ADC sampling, DAC sound outputs, and timer interrupts Multiplayer Connect Four Digital Design II Course

In a three-person team, built an FPGA-based multiplayer Connect Four game

Designed custom serial communication protocol to send and receive player moves

Built project using SystemVerilog, and testing with ModelSim and the SignalTap II logic analyzer FPGA Frogger Digital Design I Course

Built an LED grid-based Frogger game on an FPGA using SystemVerilog and ModelSim

Designed extra features such as: tracking the player’s best time, the player’s lives and win count, and differently clocked vehicles to produce different speeds and increase difficulty Enigma Cipher Project Personal Project

Programmed Java code for a personal project aimed to mimic the Enigma Cipher machine

Used object-oriented programming to implement the original encryption mechanisms Industrial Experience

Technical Intern (June 2016 – September 2016)

Public Service Electric and Gas Company

Updated drawings to accurately reflect field-marked-prints

Implemented breaker failure design to support substation operations for summer intern project
