Summary
I am committed to enhancing my expertise in both artificial intelligence and hardware design to effectively integrate hardware solutions that optimize AI system performance. To enable this, I am currently self-studying electromagnetism at the university level to effectively design high-speed circuits for AI applications. Also, I am planning to learn digital logic and Verilog programming to proficiently design processors for AI and general-purpose computing. I am accomplishing this through Griffith's Introduction to Electrodynamics and planning to read Stephen Brown's Fundamentals of Digital Logic with Verilog Design. I remain enthusiastic and willing to acquire any additional knowledge or skills necessary to excel.

Work History
Robotic Arm PCB Independent Hardware Project
06.2024 - Current
- Designed and developed a 4-layer, mixed-signal printed circuit board featuring dual microcontrollers and WiFi connectivity to control up to 8 servos for a robotic arm.
- Engineered the PCB with considerations for EMI, signal integrity, and high-current performance (12-amp peak draw).
- Implemented operational amplifiers for amplification of feedback signals.
- Executed two design iterations to fine-tune and optimize the circuit layout.
- Conducted comprehensive testing, assembly, and programming in C and C++ to validate core functionalities.
Line Following Robot Hardware Project
04.2024 - 06.2024
- Engineered a functional line-following robot featuring a custom-designed photoresistor-based line sensing module.
- Programmed the robot on an Arduino using C++ and implemented a PID control loop to achieve stability.
