AMR – ESP32 Control & Telemetry System Personal Project

– Built an AMR development project using a Raspberry Pi 5 and an ESP32 for control, telemetry, and sensor integration.

– Programmed ESP32 application logic in C++ and implemented PID-based motor control during development.

– Implemented TCP/UDP communication between the embedded node and a PC-side interface for monitoring and debugging.

– Used Git and a WSL-based workflow for development and code management. Peripheral Driver & Bootloader Development (ATmega328P) Personal Project

– Implemented modular drivers for GPIO, UART, and I2C by directly manipulating registers.

– Practiced datasheet-driven peripheral initialization and debugging on real hardware.

– Currently developing a small UART bootloader with application update flow and jump-to-application handling.

– Used PlatformIO to organize the project structure and improve code modularity. PIC16F887 Traffic Light Controller with I2C LCD Interface Academic Project

– Built a 2-road traffic light controller with AUTO, MANUAL, and FLASHING modes on PIC16F887.

– Implemented a custom I2C master driver and used it as the communication layer for LCD interfacing.

– Integrated UART communication with a Python-based desktop interface for monitoring and mode control.

– Applied timer-based state control and firmware modularization to build a working prototype. AGV ROS 2 Simulation & Visualization Workflow Personal Project

– Built a ROS 2 package on Ubuntu for AGV modeling and basic simulation.

– Used URDF, Gazebo, and RViz2 to visualize the robot model and simulation setup.

– Practiced Linux command-line workflows for building with colcon, sourcing environments, and running ROS 2 packages.

Leadership & Activities

Volunteer Teaching Team Leader – Community Class Program Binh Duong, Vietnam Volunteer Activity Summer 2024
