Technical Guide - Military Radio Troubleshooting

  • Authored comprehensive technical documentation outlining product defects, diagnostic procedures, and repair methods to facilitate the optimization of workflow, training, and quality.

Tennis Ball Tracker 

  • Developed and implemented a custom algorithm to accurately track a virtual tennis ball within a stadium environment using a combination of MATLAB, Python, Simulink, Unity, and Vivado. Utilizing two 1080p virtual cameras and integrated them with a Snickerdoodle board to achieve real-time tracking and precise ball location while optimizing for memory constraints

Web Checkers - Interactive Web Application

  • Created a checkers web-app using Java, Java Script, and CSS. Implemented linked lists, hierarchal classes, objects, and a GUI that would allow the user to play a full game of checkers on a webpage.

FPGA Signal Processing

  • Implemented signal processing algorithms on an FPGA to optimize data processing and enhance system performance with accurate timing. Utilized hardware-level parallelism to efficiently handle complex signal manipulation.

Digital Signal Processing

  • Utilized MATLAB to design and implement signal filtering techniques to reduce noise and enhance signal quality. Applied various filtering algorithms, including low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters, to process raw data.
