Hi, I'm Gavin

I'm a Junior studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at University of California, Berkeley

I enjoy everything about Engineering from designing and using micro-controllers or just messing around with an Arduino in my spare time

My current interests are in Digital Design, Robotics, Circuit Designs, Computer Architecture and Machine Learning

Projects

Some fun and interesting projects I've finished so far

FPGA Internship Project

Designed, programmed, and hardware debugged an FPGA evaluation board used to test and verify a 10-bit ADC.
‍

Chess Playing Robotic Arm

Designed, CADed, programmed and tested a working robotic arm that could play chess against a human player. The robotic arm uses the Stockfish interface with Rasp Pi as a microcontroller to perform the "pick-and-place" mechanism
‍

Tello Drone

Designed and programmed a PID controller in Python onto the Tello Drone in order to track and catch a balloon falling

FPGA RISC-V CPU + User I/O UART Interface

Designed, programmed and tested a working RISC-V CPU processor with different user I/O interfaces such as a FIFO and a PWM controller in Verilog on a Xilinx FPGA board
‍

SIXT33N Car

Designed and built a voice-controlled car which can responds to different words programmed onto the Arduino

Gitlet

Designed and implemented a version-control system mimicking Git in Java

NumC

Programmed and optimized a fast matrix computation program mimicking NumPy in Python and C

Tablut

Implemented an AI alongside a complex board game called Tablut written in Java

Enigma

Programmed the famous message encrypting machine Enigma used in WWII in Java
