I designed a custom 4-layer lighting controller for UBC Rover to support nighttime navigation and lighting missions. I owned the board design, firmware, CAN integration, assembly, hardware bring-up, and rover integration.

My contribution focused on the electromechanical actuation and physical integration of a robotic piano hand. I machined solenoid components, wound and tested electromagnetic coils, iterated the finger linkage, soldered and managed actuator wiring, integrated the moving hand assembly, and developed a Python positioning model for all 54 piano keys.

I am building a custom 16-bit processor in SystemVerilog with instruction fetch and decode, an 8-register file, a scalar ALU, and a four-lane SIMD execution path. I am developing and simulating each RTL block separately before integrating the complete core and moving to FPGA synthesis and performance comparison.

I designed and implemented a 16-bit multi-cycle processor in SystemVerilog with a register file, ALU, operand shifter, datapath, instruction decoding, finite state machine controller, status flags, and RTL verification.

I worked on a temperature monitoring and control system combining an NTC thermistor, Wheatstone bridge, analog signal conditioning, Arduino temperature calculation, Python calibration, comparator logic, 555 timers, PWM, and data logging.

I built a wearable obstacle-awareness prototype using an Arduino, ultrasonic sensing, and vibration feedback. I improved sensor stability with a rolling average and outlier rejection, then mapped obstacle distance to PWM-controlled haptic feedback.
