Projects
Developed software for a board with relays and H-bridge circuit. The board was connected to the Android app via Bluetooth.
Developed a graphics engine on NXP LPC microcontroller to render 3D objects on 2D TFT display. The display was interfaced over SPI protocol.
Developed a game on LED matrix display. The joystick was connected via Bluetooth and the speaker was interfaced over I2C protocol.
Developed an autonomous RC car with a team of 7 people. The car had 5 modules for specifc purpose: GPS, Radar, Motor Control, Bluetooth Communication, Drive. The modules communicated using CAN bus.
Built an Android app using Google Maps SDK to send the destination marked on Google Maps fragment to the car via Bluetooth
The car received the destination from the Android app, and autonomously drove to the destination as demonstrated in the video.
Volunteered time outside of core responsibilities to validate the CXL product against NIST cryptographic standards and supported the recruiting team at a career fair. Also contributed to community service by sorting food at Second Harvest.
