Work, Research, Academic Experience
- Academic Project (Predator Arm ESP-32 Display): Configured ESP-32 firmware to display alien-style numeric graphics inspired by the “Predator” movie, adapting existing C/C++ code. Integrated a power switch module with a 3D printed gauntlet along with control logic to render images on ESP-32. Modified custom timing parameters and memory allocation using SquareLine Studio.
- Academic Project (WordNet.java): Created code to find the shortest connection and common point between nouns in a directed network, by developing a WordNet-based data structure. Identified nouns least related to other nouns within a list of words by using data structure algorithms to calculate total distance between nouns.
