Raymond Chen

Software Defined Networking  | System Architect | 08/22 - 05/23 |

• Designed and implemented an SDN controller prototype to process packet_in events and program flow rules for a software switch/router.
• Modularized control logic to separate policy decisions from data-plane actions, improving testability.
• Validated forwarding behavior with a comprehensive test suite and produced sponsor-ready documentation.

FPGA Metal Detector  | Developer | 02/22 - 05/22 |

• Implemented signal acquisition, filtering, and thresholding pipeline on an Artix-7 board; developed RTL and an FSM for detection sequencing.
• Mapped outputs to seven-segment and LED indicators for bench feedback and performed Vivado timing analysis.

Pololu 3Pi Autonomous Robot  | Contributor | 01/21 - 05/21 |

• Programmed Arduino firmware to read reflectance and proximity sensors and detect designated targets.
• Implemented control logic to trigger corresponding movement patterns when a target was detected; tuned sensor thresholds and timing for reliable operation.
• Performed iterative bench testing and logging to validate detection accuracy and movement responsiveness across multiple layouts.
