I am a hardworking, organized, and self-motivated student. Recently graduated in the software engineering (BEng) program at Toronto Metropolitan University.

RELEVANT PROJECTS

Embedded Media Center System Project (C, ARM Cortex-M3, Keil uVision)

• Designed a menu-driven embedded system in C using finite state machine (FSM) architecture
• Integrated LCD graphics, USB audio playback, joystick input, and hardware timers
• Diagnosed and resolved USB audio instability, improving real-time performance and system reliability
• Optimized peripheral interaction using interrupt-driven design

Hardware VGA Video Game Processor Project (VHDL, FPGA, Real-Time Logic)

• Developed a real-time Pong-style game entirely in VHDL on FPGA hardware
• Generated 640×480 @ 60Hz VGA output using precise pixel timing and synchronization logic
• Implemented game logic including collision detection, paddle movement, ball movement, and scoring
• Ensured stable rendering through accurate timing constraints and signal control

ATM Banking System Project (C, Netbeans, Secure Programming)

• Built a secure ATM simulation system in C (NetBeans) with modular architecture
• Implemented user authentication, account management, and transaction processing (withdraw/deposit)
• Applied input validation and secure coding practices to mitigate invalid operations and misuse
• Structured codebase for scalability, maintainability, and clear separation of concerns

Distributed Snow Removal Management System Project (Python, FastAPI, gRPC, Docker, REST APIs)

• Developed a distributed system in Python to coordinate large-scale snow removal operations
• Built REST API services to manage weather updates, traffic conditions, vehicle status, and dispatches.
• Implemented gRPC-based communication between system components to simulate inter-service coordination.
• Designed task assignment logic that considered vehicle availability, road type, zone priority, hospital routes, and weather severity.
• Containerized services using Docker and tested endpoints through FastAPI documentation pages and terminal-based API requests.

ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE

LA Fitness – Staff Member | May 2022 – Sept 2022

• Demonstrated reliability, time management, and teamwork in a fast-paced environment
• Supported daily operations, ensuring all areas were fully maintained efficiently, contributing to a welcoming environment for clients.
