I have been doing software development in a personal capacity for the past 8 years, I have also been working with FPGAs for the past 2 years. I have worked with many programming languages, and done a lot with them from working on programming language implementation to reverse engineering and modding games. I have experience with widely used in industry tools for both FPGA development and software/game development. I have also designed CPU architectures as a hobby for the past 5 years.

  • Implemented a basic 3d rendering pipeline on a Basys 3 Development board using VHDL and fixed point math
  • Implemented a serial protocol for communicated with the 3d rendering pipeline over USB
  • Wrote a Rust based program for communicating with the board and sending over models

Work

Georgia Tech Research Institute Summer 2020
Summer Internship Program location pin Atlanta, Ga.
  • Designed a USB serial protocol for communicating between a Windows computer and an Arduinoconnected to a Braccio robot arm
