Projects

Things I've built

Click any image to open the gallery and scroll through.

01

N-Body Gravity Simulator

Simulates gravitational interactions between N particles using numerical integration. Visualizes orbital trajectories and gravitational clustering in real time.

02

Audio Spectrum Analyzer

Custom PCB with an ATmega MCU and 8×8 NeoPixel LED matrix. Converts live audio to frequency-domain components in real time using the arduinoFFT library.

03

Autonomous 4WD Plant-Identifying Robot

Two-tier autonomous robot with simulated 3D LiDAR mapping (1–2° increments across 180°) and real-time plant classification at 81.1% accuracy using a pre-trained OpenCV model.

04

Verilog Projects

A collection of digital logic designs implemented in Verilog — from adders and ALUs to state machines and pipelined modules.

05

AI Agent Scheduler & Parallel Runtime

Schedules and dispatches AI agents across parallel execution contexts, managing task dependencies, resource contention, and runtime orchestration.

06

Coming soon

CPU Design

A full custom CPU design — architecture, datapath, and control logic built from the ground up.
