Projects

Python Image Processing ProjectBaltimore, MD
Final Project, December 2024

  • Led a team of 3 to develop a Python application that rotated images 180°, applied color filters, and inverted images.
  • Developed a master function to call all operations and added a randomization feature to apply transformations simultaneously.

Bipolar Junction Transistor ProjectBaltimore, MD
Group Project, December 2024

  • Designed and built a common-emitter circuit using a 2N3904 NPN transistor to measure input/output voltages and currents.
  • Analyzed relationships between voltages and currents using Excel and visualized data with graphs.
  • Simulated the same circuit in LTspice and achieved a 4% error rate, validating the experimental results with 96% accuracy.

Ultrasonic Distance Sensor ProjectBaltimore, MD
Personal Project, September 2024

  • Built an ultrasonic distance sensor using Arduino and embedded C/C++ code to interface the sensor, process signals, and display real-time data on a serial monitor.

C++ Final ProjectBaltimore, MD
Group Project, April 2024 – May 2024

  • Collaborated with peers to optimize a 270-line simulation code for 8 teams across 2 groups, reducing the code length by 31% while maintaining functionality.
  • Integrated functions like random number generation and getOdds() to enhance the project.
