    PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
    As a Computer Engineer with a background and interest in Embedded Systems Design and Computer Architecture, I am seeking Research
    Positions to gain hands-on experience and contribute towards solving open problems in the field.
    WORK EXPERIENCE
    Undergraduate Research Assistant, Iowa State University – CCEE Department May 2022 – Present
    • Integrated lighting systems into electrical enclosures for imaging technologies such as Area Scan Cameras, Line Scan Cameras, and
    Laser Line Profilers, resulting in improved image quality and accuracy of clean and dirty cylinder heads.
    • Configured serial and client/server communication protocols to control load frames for flexural strength testing of acid exposed and
    non-acid exposed beams, enabling efficient and accurate testing.
    • Developed software in C/C++ to trigger imaging technologies and automate data acquisition for imaging clean and dirty cylinder
    heads. Developed algorithms for processing, and stitching images with OpenCV and MATLAB.
    • Prepared and Trained Datasets using object detection models such as Yolov8, for surface defect detection. Developed Software to
    Threshold and Segment defects from the Regions of Interest(ROI) defined by the Deep Learning Model.
    • Implemented LabView code for data acquisition from various systems in the department, streamlining data analysis processes and
    increasing accuracy of results.
    Undergraduate Research Assistant, Iowa State University – Data Storage Lab May 2023 – August 2023
    • Deployed and managed Ceph clusters on Amazon AWS EC2, focusing on the influence of BlueStore caching, and conducted
    encoding and repair time experiments that informed the research paper titled "Real-World Performance of Erasure Codes in
    Distributed Storage Systems."
    • Benchmarked Data Storage Lab's custom Fault Injection Simulation (FIS) against AWS's native FIS using CloudWatch logs, providing
    key insights into system resilience and performance.

    Mode, stores the clock cycle counts, and then generates PPM signals in Software Relay Mode for autonomous flight in playback mode. We filtered
    the individual PPM signal channels to improve flight quality and make maneuvering easier for beginners.
    Hardware Accelerator Design October 2023 – December 2023
    ● Designed a Zynq 7000 FPGA-based accelerator using Vitis and Vivado for the Tiny ImageNet model, implementing an output-stationary architecture
    and Floating-Point DSPs to enhance image processing efficiency.
    Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling of a Raspberry PI with sensor workloads October 2023 – December 2023
    ● Engineered a system for dynamic voltage and frequency scaling on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+, tailored for varied sensor workloads; the system
    dynamically adjusted power settings based on workload intensity, achieving optimal balance between energy consumption and processing speed on
    the ARM A53 processor.
    Botnet Attack Simulation on Bare Metal Nodes hosted by Cloud Lab October 2023 – December 2023
    ● Developed and executed a botnet attack simulation on Cloud Lab's bare-metal nodes, analyzing system vulnerabilities and effectiveness of defense
    mechanisms under realistic network attack scenarios, enhancing understanding of network security protocols.
    MIPS Single and Multi-Cycle Processor Design August 2022 – December 2022
    ● Built a fully functional Single and Multi-Cycle MIPS processor that runs various instructions of the MIPS Assembly Language.
    Frontend Developer, Driveway Parking App August 2022 – December 2022
    ● Developed a fully functional android mobile application using Android Studio(Java) on the Frontend, and Spring Boot and MySQL on the backend,
    which allows users to rent out as well as list their parking spaces, similar to Air BNB.
    Autonomous Valet Parking May 2022 – July 2022
    ● Built an autonomous valet parking service by configuring a Tiva™ TM4C123GH6PM Microcontroller on a Roomba, and simulated the service on a
