Projects

I strongly believe that continuous learning is fundamental to a career in engineering, so when I'm not engaged in my studies or professional activities, I enjoy working on design projects. Most of my projects are centered around embedded systems and mixed-signal electronics, but I also love taking on computer and software engineering work. 

You'll also notice that some of my projects are in progress or the planning stage; I like to have a few things on the go at once so that I don't lose momentum if I get stuck on a problem. It also encourages me to cross-pollinate my ideas, since many of the concepts that I focus on are transferrable between projects.

For more detailed project documentation, I encourage you to take a look at my downloadable formal reports and GitHub page.

Here are just a few of the small projects that I've developed since 2022. Many of these short-but-sweet designs also act as incredibly useful tools that I've use in the development of more complex projects.

Here are some of the projects I’m planning to take on next. They highlight the areas I’m excited to explore and the skills I aim to build as an electrical engineering student.

• Oscilloscope & WaveGen: I want to implement this system on an STM32-Nucleo board to practice my embedded and signal processing skills. It would perform two major functions: processing and displaying incoming signals with minimal delay, and outputting various waveforms based on user-set parameters.

• MPPT Solar Charge Controller: A maximum power point tracking solar charge controller would be a great addition to my dual axis solar tracker project. High-side power would be monitored by an STM32-Nucleo board, allowing the controller to adjust voltage and current levels to charge batteries under the most efficient conditions.

• Custom Bootloader for ATMEGA: I've designed several embedded systems projects on AVR microcontrollers, which have all been implemented using various ISP hardware programmers (MPLAB Snap, PICkit 5, etc). Lately, I've been wanting to develop a custom ATMEGA328 bootloader that can receive and flash new firmware without a physical programmer (IAP), opening up doors for advanced loading techniques, like encrypted firmware updates and wireless programming (OTA).
