Applied Projects
Research Assistant Jun 2017 – Present
 Implementing and optimizing sensor fusion algorithms on Cortex M4 in C++ environment
 Interfacing with 3 DoF IMU sensor in real-time and modelling the object’s orientation

Smart Alarm System Jul 2017 – Aug 2017

 Developed an alarm system with advanced detection and notification capability to protect
user belongings from distances
 Integrated an accelerometer and GSM module with an Arduino to detect motion and notify
the user with a text message
 Interfaced an amplifier and sound system (speaker, card reader, DAC) with an Arduino to
alarm and dissuade thieve.

Capstone Project Sep 2016 – Apr 2017

 Collaborated with Company Name to develop an IP-based communication system
architecture for the Smart Grid System using WiFi that empowers customers by providing
power consumption data in real-time
 Developed dashboards using Javascript and Python to process data and generate graphical
output of the customer’s power consumption to better understand the trend
 Utilized the OLSR routing protocol to establish a mesh network using Raspberry Pis in
Linux environment to allow two-way communication between households and the utility
headquarter
 Employed GnuPG open-source encryption software to encrypt the data files sent between
the houses and utility headquarter

Music App – Command line interface Oct 2017 – Dec 2017

 Developed a command line interface in C++ that allows the users to create playlists, add
tracks, recordings and songs
 Refactored the code and used observer design pattern to improve its readability and
scalability

Home Automation System Jan 2016 – Apr 2016

 Developed a prototype for an automation system that interacts with sensors and controls
modules from a mobile phone

1
  Developed libraries for sensors interfaced with an Arduino to use a Bluetooth module and
input data to various sensors (temperature sensor, PIR sensor)
 Interfaced the sensors with modules (heating pad, cooling fan, buzzer) to allow the user to
control them wirelessly

iOS Apps
 Weather application: Developed a GUI and utilized a third party API to summarize and
present and weekly weather information for the user
Music app: Displays a list of some music videos in a table, clicking any of which allows
the user to view the video of the song.
