Projects

• Traffic Light Controller ↗
  Verilog HDL, FSM, Xilinx Vivado

  Architected an FSM-based traffic light controller implementing RED → GREEN → YELLOW state transitions. Implemented synchronous state updates, reset, next-state logic, and output logic. Built a Verilog testbench and validated controller behavior using Vivado simulation waveforms.

• 8×8 FIFO Buffer ↗
  Verilog HDL, RTL Design, Xilinx Vivado

  Developed an 8-depth, 8-bit FIFO using a memory array with read/write pointers. Implemented synchronous read/write operations with reset, full, and empty status logic. Verified FIFO data flow through a custom testbench and Vivado waveform analysis.

• Landslide Detection System
  Arduino, Sensors, C++, Tinkercad

  Integrated 3 sensors (soil moisture, vibration, rain) to monitor landslide-prone conditions with real-time data processing. Engineered an SOS alert system using a buzzer and LED, triggering notifications within 2 seconds of risk detection. Coordinated a 4-member team, dividing hardware and software tasks to complete the project within deadline.

• Smart Blind Stick Detector
  Arduino UNO, Ultrasonic Sensor, Embedded C

  Developed a smart blind stick using an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles and assist visually impaired individuals in safe navigation. Programmed Arduino UNO in Embedded C to provide real-time buzzer alerts when obstacles are detected within range. Enhanced navigation safety for visually impaired individuals by enabling real-time obstacle detection and instant buzzer alerts.

🏆 Achievements & awards

• Quad-copter Drone Workshop Build

  Built a functional quad-copter drone in a 2-day Drone Technology Workshop, covering ESC calibration and flight controller programming.

• AgroMax Representation at Thrust 2K23 · 2023

  Represented AgroMax, an Uber-style agricultural logistics platform concept, at Thrust 2K23 (Engineering Day), connecting farmers directly to Mandi at better rates and reducing middlemen dependency.

• Science Day Competition Team Lead

  Directed a 4-person team in a Science Day competition, presenting a 3-layer hydraulic bridge model demonstrating automated vertical movement to manage pedestrian flow across levels.

• District-level Chess Competition

  Secured 3rd position at the District level in an Inter-College Chess Competition (4th position at college level), among 50+ participants.
