Ported and packaged video encoding and decoding IP cores from vendor reference designs into internal proprietary ecosystems using VHDL, optimizing for resource utilization. Architected custom digital systems on Zynq Ultrascale+ platforms through Xilinx Vivado, implementing AXI4 communication protocols to interface IP cores with memory and peripherals. Developed and tested C-based software applications referencing vendor designs to verify the functionality and reliability of the IP cores.
