I have a variety of interests. Apart from studying cyber physical systems, I enjoy spending most of my time being outdoors. I'm a big soccer fan and play when i can on the weekends. During the warmer months here in Charlotte, I enjoy hiking, and long distance running.
When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an "aspiring" chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time brushing up my coding skills and reading up on interesting ideas in the robotic system development world.
● Implemented an IoT system for monitoring and controlling a home’s sensors and actuators via an android app named ”49erSense”. Tech: Python, Java, PHP, MySQL Workbench, Android Studio, Xampp Web Server, Raspberry Pi, TP Link Router (Fall ’20)
● Develop an image processing server that interacts with clients through a pool of worker threads using the producer consumer model. Tech: C, C++, OpenCV, Linux (Fall ’20)
● Goal of the project is to design two different digital controllers; classical digital compensator % state-variable observer-controller compensation. In-order to meet design goals given within the design constraints. Tech: MATLAB, Latex (Spring ’21)
