01 / FPGA + AUDIO
DE1-SoC Rhythm Game
Built a real-time rhythm game in SystemVerilog with custom VGA graphics, button-timing feedback, and PWM audio synthesis through GPIO.
01 / About
Curious about the whole system.
I’m a Computer Engineering student at Virginia Tech with a Green Engineering minor. From FPGA signal processing and SDR infrastructure to solar-car telemetry, I like work that connects design decisions to how a real system performs.

02 / Selected work
Projects
Hardware, software, and the integration work between them.
02 / SENIOR DESIGN
Automatic Gear Inspection
Developing a prototype for SEW-EURODRIVE to detect and localize damage across helical, helical-bevel, and worm gears, with an automated OK/NOK result.
03 / TELEMETRY
SolarCar at Virginia Tech
Leading an eight-person telemetry team building car-to-pit RF communications, live data visualization, and race-strategy tools. Developed Python route-analysis tools using mapping data.
04 / SEMICONDUCTORS
IC Layout in Hiroshima
Designed NMOS, PMOS, and CMOS inverter layouts during a U.S.–Japan semiconductor intensive and characterized devices with I–V measurements.
03 / Experience
In practice
FPGA and Systems Software Intern
Parsons Corporation
Modified VHDL signal-processing IP for QSFP/Aurora streaming, assessed FPGA boards for FIR workloads, and built C++/Docker tooling to integrate MATLAB signal files into an SDR environment.
Back End Software Development Intern
Parsons Corporation
Worked on event-driven SDR scheduling and Java webserver file-handling, including HTTP endpoints, data transfer objects, PostgreSQL, and Docker-based integration.
Undergraduate Learning Assistant
Virginia Tech · Bradley Department of ECE
Guided 26 teams building blood-pressure monitors and supported hardware assembly, soldering, and debugging of sensors, pumps, and valves.
04 / Contact
Let’s connect.
I’m interested in embedded systems, FPGA development, and hands-on engineering teams.
