Senior Project Design

Pedestrain Safety Device Spring/Fall 2020

Member of a 4-person team that developed devices that will prevent the collisions of low-speed personal vehicles. The devices use a collision detection algorithm to use their location and velocity to calculate the time to collision from one device to the other. The devices communicate with each other by sending and receiving their location and velocity wirelessly through ESP- NOW. Personally, responsible for developing the communication aspect by using ESP-32’s own communication protocol and developed a 150-line C communication program that was integrated with other features.
Tools used: C, ESP-32, GPS-module, Arduimo IDE

Operating Systems Pragmatics

Simple Operating System Fall 2020

Member of a 3-person team that designed and implemented a simple process scheduling operating system by using a special development operating environment called SPEDE. The operating system ran on Intel’s x86 CPU architecture where a MS DOS based environment was used for testing and Ubuntu Linux was used for development. These environments were run on a virtual machine due to the global pandemic. Topics covered and implemented in our operating system are the Kernel, Processes, and Interprocess Communication. The operating system used its own api and was programmed in C and inline assembly.
Tools Used: Ubuntu Linux, MS-DOS, VSCODE, C, Assembly, SPEDE, Virtual Machines

CMOS and VLSI Design

Chip Layout Design Spring 2020

Designed 0.18um chips (NAND, Inverter, and Ring Oscillator) that use CMOS and VLSI concepts, methodologies, and techniques. The project had requirements such as midpoint voltage values, rise, and fall time values while following the design rules of the CMOS process. The chips were tested and validated by going through and DRC and LVS chip layout verification.
Tools used: Cadence Virtouso, PSpice, remote desktop

Database & mangement Systems

Simple SQL Database Fall 2020

Formed a SQL database based on the relational and ER diagrams provided by the professor. Made sure to follow the constraints from the diagram and to populate the database for testing purposes. MySQL 5.6 was used when creating this database.
Tools used: Putty, SQL

Advanced Computer Orginization

16-bit MIPS Processor, Verilog Fall 2019

Led a two-person team through the design, development, and implementation phases of a 16-bit microprocessor with a 5-stage pipeline. The processor specifications were based on the professor’s criteria but followed MIPS format as a reference. Behavioral and combinational modeling in Verilog was used in the design of the processor’s components.
Tools used: Verilog, MobaXterm, Synopsis VCS

Computer Interfacing

Solar Tracker Project Fall 2018

Developed a solar tracker for a class final project with a team of 3. The final project was planned to take 5 weeks, but the CA fires disrupted the time set. The team finished in a record 3 weeks, meeting a tight schedule by ramping up meetings and delivery of code. Personally, built the foundation for the solar tracker and wrote a 40-line C script on a parallax board that was designed to detect light and rotate the servos from east to west depending on the sun light level. Convinced the team that we could streamline the development by using Bitbucket to manage our code and Slack to collaborate and communicate changes and updates with team members working remotely.
Tools used: C, Python, RPI 3, Paralax Propellor Board, Solar panels, servo motor
