Final-Year Capstone project where campus street lighting consumed energy continuously regardless of ambient light or pedestrian activity, resulting in significant electricity waste. Designed, built, and demonstrated an automatic street lighting system as the technical lead of a 4-member team within a 4-month timeline.

• Engineered an Arduino-based controller integrating LDR and PIR sensors; wrote modular C firmware to enable context-aware lighting; coordinated task allocation and bi-weekly progress reviews across the team.
• Delivered a fully functional prototype that reduced simulated energy consumption by an estimated 40%
• Project received faculty commendation for innovation and practical applicability at the college-level project showcase
