Verilog / FPGA Programming YouTube Playlist

Collection of various projects in Verilog HDL and implementation in an FPGA board. (Nexys A7-100T).

Multifunctional Embedded System Control Panel

Implemented the PIC18F4321 microcontroller as the central processing unit for an integrated control panel system that emulated an AC unit with automated temperature control depending on ambient temperature and a TFT display that showed time, temperature, and mode dependent of ambient light.

Internship: Birdwatcher app with Intel AI DevCloud

Executed a Birdwatcher app at Cal State LA using the Intel AI DevCloud and OpenVINO inference engine for machine learning. Developed the program in Python and implemented the use of Linux commands.

IEEE | Cal Poly Pomona (Website)

As the media chair, I created and completely redesigned the IEEE, Cal Poly Pomona chapter and implemented a dynamic calendar to show future workshops and events, as well as an "events" page to document media from previous workshops and events.
