Experience

Pac-Man Game - Collaborative Project
 Created and tested 16-bit CPU on a Cyclone-V FPGA written in Verilog
 Integrated Raspberry Pi, Xbox One controller, and VGA display to interface with our CPU
 Created an assembler that converts assembly code into machine code
 Developed original software for the movement of ghosts, Pacman, and the game states, in machine language
TankWars Game - Collaborative Project
 Recreated tank wars game using client/server architecture, allowing multiple clients to connect to a server
 Used JSON to represent and send information from client to server and vice versa using TCP in C#
 Used MVC architecture in order to have separation of concerns
CPU Design - Independent Project
 Simulated and synthesized a 4-bit ALU, datapath, and tri-state buffers modularly in Verilog
 Then implemented a finite state machine
 Interfaced all the components together for a 4-bit CPU and controller for a microprocessor or microcontroller
Sensor Systems - Independent Project
 Designed and simulated a simple sensor system to detect the temperature with a MS97 thermistor
 Built the circuit using insulating tiles to heat up or a convection current fan to cool down
Infrared Signals - Collaborative Project
 Coded programs on Arduinos (in C++) to send and receive messages using infrared transmissions
 Built a sender and receiver to work with obstructions in between the two Arduinos

Expectation

I currently work part time as a lab aide. I would like to get started with the project over the summer. I am open to working with anybody that will put in the time and effort needed to complete our final project.
