My introduction
I'm a 3rd Year Computer Engineering student at the University of Toronto. I've got a passion for technology and most subjects in the STEM field. I have experience with data structures and algroithms, debugging, optimization and I have experience working in software teams. I started learning programming and hardware in 2015, and I've been working with computers ever since. In my free time (what's that?), I enjoy playing basketball, practicing playing the guitar and making video games.

3D Software Renderer
This is a software renderer pipelined entirely in the CPU that can render meshes in the Windows console. This does not use any graphics APIs, and is built from the ground up using linear algebra.

ComeNGo GIS
My team and I built a Geographic Information System (something similar to Google Maps) from the ground up. I used the A* algorithm to find the fastest route for travellers, and I used a variation of a greedy algorithm to find an adequate solution to the travelling salesman problem.
Mood Lights
Smart Lamp
Mood Lights - A smart lamp
Our winning project, Mood Lights, is a smart Light-controlled Mood Ambient Device that is designed to reduce stress by using light patterns. It has different modes including weather mode, relaxing animations, notifications, etc. It allows you to control it by using Google Home's Voice Commands.

(Game & AI)
Reversi (Game and AI)
Reversi is a classic board game played on an 8x8 board. I used many different types of data structures to store game data and I used recursion and other techniques to calculate game states and legal moves. I also used the minimax algorithm with alpha-beta pruning to choose the best possible move based on a set of heuristic measures.

Terminator on a DE1-SoC FPGA
We created a game inspired by The Terminator by writing to the pixel buffer on a DE1-SoC. Users input their commands via the PS/2 controller.
