I've worked on a variety of projects. Here are a few of my favorites.
GNCea, an AUV/ROV Simulator
ROS 2 Jazzy based simulator in Gazebo Harmonic with custom C++ plugins for thrust allocation, buoyancy, and hydrodynamic drag; real-time 6-DOF teleop, depth/altitude control, and camera/LiDAR perception.
Camera Sensor Attack Testbed
PiCar-X/RPi4 vision-only AV testbed with dual-lane pipelines (HSV, Canny/Hough), YOLO sign detection, PID + Kalman Filter control, and live telemetry to study reflective/blinding/spoofing attacks and mitigations.
React Chess Engine
Interactive chess engine with full rule enforcement (promotion, en passant, check detection) and OOP move validation via a centralized Referee; drag-and-drop UI.
A* Path Planning Simulation
Grid-based A* simulator in Python showcasing shortest-path computation, obstacle avoidance, and heuristic search.
Verilog Stopwatch & Calculator
Stopwatch and calculator implemented in Verilog on Xilinx ZYNQ XC7007S with seven-seg display, switches, and push buttons.
