2023 - 2026
BSc at Virginia Polytechnic and State University with a major in computer science - in progress until May 2026. My interests are in machine learning & AI and embedded programming. Earned a spot on the Dean's list my freshman fall semester and a spot on the President's list (4.0 GPA for a term) in spring '24 and fall '24.
Undergraduate Research Assistant - Developing LLM agents to optimize matrix multiplication operations in PyTorch torch.mm. Conducting benchmarking and performance analysis using CUDA, SLURM, and OpenMP.
Member of BOLT Electric Vehicle Design Team, where I led an R&D project on balance control, and worked on assembling battery packs for the
BOLT VS superbike.
2019 - 2023
Student Intern at
CPES. Worked under supervision of Dr. Dushan Boroyevich on real-time UART communication protocols on ESP-32 microcontrollers and PEBB (Power Electronics Building Block) hardware controller. Used Tektronix MSO64 6 Series 4GHz 25GS/s oscilloscope to measure signals from PEBB. Created documetation for HMI using Raspberry Pi display.
Worked on video editing for tutorial presented on High-Voltage-Direct-Current (HVDC) systems - presented by Dr. Dushan Boroyevich. Also supported lab equipment installation as a volunteer in new high-power lab (power supplies, oscilloscopes, soldering stations, waveform generators, multimeters, computers, etc.).
projects
VisonLink - Navigational aid designed to assist visually impaired users in their day-to-day lives, offering object-detection, haptic feedback, text-to-speech, and live location and directions using Google Maps API. Built using React Native and Expo, along with Tensorflow Lite for object-detection model. (VT Hacks 12 Hackathon Winner - "Best Hack Supporting Diversity & Inclusion")
RIPEMIND - Web app that determines if fruit is safe to eat or rotten using custom machine learning algorithm for image processing. SQL database for users to register and store login information. (Hackathon Project)
Designed and built a custom electric guitar pickup - single coil (6 kΩ) for a Fender Stratocaster guitar. Custom pickup housing designed in Autodesk Inventor and 3D printed - coil was hand-wound using 46 gauge wire using a makeshift drill-winding setup in my garage. Tested in real body of a scrap guitar and with an oscilloscope.
Mechanical system differential similar to "diff-swerve" omnidirectional robotics wheels. Fully custom designed and 3D printed/laser cut components. Two servos controlled by potentiometers change the voltage (speed) of each bevel gear independently, to show various actions of the system under different loads. Controlled using Arduino Uno.
Smart Wall Plug - custom 15 A 120 V electronic switch controlled by a Raspberry Pi and electromagnetic relay through a web app run on local ip. Connection to Raspberry Pi over Wifi with a Flask application running on Apache to connect to web app. Good for turning off my desk lamp at night from bed.
