As a penultimate Computer Systems Engineering student at the University of Auckland, I am passionately engaged in acquiring a diverse skill set that spans electronics, software engineering, and computer architecture. I am inspired by the potential of embedded systems to revolutionize industries through smart design and I am excited to pioneer this in my career journey.

Learning all of this has allowed me to pursue computer systems design for fun in my own time. Leading to the development of many of my own projects across all three disciplines of electronics, computer systems and software.

Many of these projects are on display below to help show what I am capable of. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions or comments!

Personal Projects

Resistor ratio calculator

Software

A simple calculator to show the best pair of resistor values to use for a given input. There are options to use the resistor values I currently have at home or the E12 series that is used at my university.

HTML Project Website

Software

More information about the creation of this website and the skills I gained through the development of it, as well as future plans for frameworks, databases and visual updates.

SR-Latch

Hardware

I created an SR-Latch (one-bit computer memory) using passive components.

I was interested in this project because of its usefulness in applications such as computer memory and registers. It also helped me further develop my simulating, breadboarding and soldering skills while teaching me about power usage and selecting optimal components.

HTML Calculator

Software

I built an HTML calculator to verify and brush up on my basic Javascript skills. This project allowed me to make multiple iterations of the same idea in different directions to work on multiple different skills.

University Projects

Smart energy monitor

Firmware, Hardware, Software

Worked with a team to develop a smart energy monitor. By reading the voltage across and current through a load using a shunt resistor, we could find and display the root mean square and peak values of current, voltage and power. We then wrote these values to a 4-bit 7-segment display, UART transmission to a computer and python application.
