Projects

  • Portfolio Website - 2023

    Created a data-driven portfolio, generated using Angular 16 and Nginx. The contents of this site is provided essentially as a JSON object, with each section being rendered according to various angular templates. The OnPush change detection strategy is used throughout all components to make the site as efficient as possible, and allows features such as the "return-to-top" button to operate without triggering an excessive amount of change detection cycles.

    Skills Used:

    TypeScript, Angular

  • Prototype Self Driving Vehicle (Scale Model) - 2018

    Developed a software package consisting of a ROS application, firmware for an Arduino-based custom PCB, and an ad-hoc transmission API. The ROS application implemented SLAM for object detection, which was processed and converted into signals for speed, direction, and an emergency stop signal. These signals were sent via the transmission API to the PCB via GPIO pins, enabling near-realtime reaction times. The custom PCB received these signals along with data from other hardware sensors such as a Hall sensor on the motor, to operate an ESC controlling the model autonomous vehicle's engine, steering servo, and battery monitor. This was my undergrad capstone project, which was done to enable a graduate research team to investigate cutting-edge autonomous vehicle research in the networking space.

    Skills Used:

    C++, Linux, OOP, Low-latency programming, Multithreading
