Plant-based Dining in the U.S. Visualization (Spring 2019)

View project on GitHub

  • Drafted and designed a map visualization to explore U.S. plant-based dining options with a focus on affordability and cuisines.
  • Utilized pandas and Python to clean the original dataset and to parse the restaurant website list to obtain usable links.
  • Generated an SVG path to draw an equirectangular projection of GeoJSON data for the U.S. with the help of D3.js.
  • Created custom interactive tooltips to display useful restaurant information and to redirect viewers to further resources.

Crazy Taxi on FPGA (Spring 2019)

View project on GitHub

  • Successfully redesigned and recreated a 2D car racing game on the FPGA for use with a VGA monitor and a USB keyboard.
  • Designed all in-game sprites and wrote a Python script to map 24-bit colors to a palette for efficient use of On-Chip Memory.
  • Created a finite state machine to control transitions between the start screen, game world, winner screen and end credits.
  • Additionally, implemented multiplayer support for up to two players, world scrolling, collision handling, random obstacle generation, dynamic on-screen scores, smooth visual transitions between game states, and increasing game difficulty.

Panic at the Kernel OS (Fall 2018)

  • Collaborated with a three-student team to design and implement an operating system using x86 Assembly and C.
  • Developed interrupt handling with assembly linkage for exceptions and hardware interrupts (keyboard, RTC, PIT).
  • Implemented full read-only file system functionality and supported execution of user-level programs.
  • Designed a comprehensive set of unit tests to quickly find bugs and ensure proper functionality for all components.

ECE 110 Honors Project: Walk-In Lights (Spring 2018)

View project on GitLab

  • Automated a small-scale motion activated, efficient lighting system using Arduino.
  • Successfully designed, implemented, & tested the full Arduino code.
  • Significantly reduced energy consumption of the LED by taking advantage of Arduino’s millis().
  • Used this same method to save 10$ on replacing our inconsistent motion detector.

Work Experience

Computer Systems Engineering (ECE 391) Undergraduate Assistant (Spring 2019 - present)

  • Creating a supportive office hours environment to help students master course material (x86 ISA, interrupt support, synchronization, file systems, VGA, scheduling) and overcome bugs and conceptual challenges when writing code.
  • Using classification and regression trees to categorize ECE 391 Queue data and display insights on an interactive visualization.

Introduction to Electronics (ECE 110) Course Aide (Fall 2018)

  • Managed an electronics lab of 40 students and helped them analyze and overcome technical challenges.
  • Aided students with their final project designs involving sensors (including phototransistors and ultrasonic sensors) and provided insight and useful resources for students developing code for Arduino.

Self Employed Highschool Math Tutor (Fall 2016 - Summer 2018)

  • Tutored high school students in Algebra/Algebra 2/Precalculus with a 100% course advancement test pass rate.
  • Provided them with a fundamentally conceptual and visual understanding of any formulas and topics in the course and in applications of the course.

Activities and Leadership

WECE Technical Committee Workshop Chair (Fall 2018 - present)

  • Organizing technical workshops and company visits for WECE3 members to pick up new skills and interact with local startups.

Honors

John Deere Foundation Scholarship (Fall 2018)

This scholarship is given to a WECE3 member of high academic standing in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
