HDL Coursework · University of Nottingham

• Designed a synthesisable matrix multiplication core on an AMD Xilinx FPGA using dual MAC units and dual-port block RAM buffers for efficient data flow.
• Built a VHDL testbench with file I/O to load input matrices and validate outputs against a MATLAB reference model.

AI Coursework · University of Nottingham

• Implemented the Perceptron Learning Law from first principles in MATLAB to train a binary NOR gate classifier.
• Extended to a 4-class problem using one-vs-rest strategy; analysed decision boundaries and misclassification rates across iterations.

Personal Project

• Full iOS app for kitchen inventory, expense tracking, and to-do management built with SwiftUI and SwiftData.
• Multi-view TabView architecture with schema-driven persistent local storage — no third-party backend.
• Managed the full development lifecycle independently: design, build, test, and iterative refinement in Xcode.

Final Year Project · CHRIST University

• Built an RFID-based automated gate and a floor-selecting elevator model using Arduino microcontrollers.
• Programmed real-time I/O operations, motor control, and an LCD status display.

Infosys (Secondary Engineer) · Leeds, UK

• Assisted on-site installation and configuration of Cisco Board Pro 52 G2 enterprise videoconferencing systems.
• Completed two full installations alongside the primary engineer; hands-on exposure to enterprise AV, cable management, device configuration, and system testing.
