Enjoy one of my favorite piano pieces as you explore 😊
This beautiful composition perfectly captures the balance between technical precision and creative expression that I strive for in my engineering work.
"In programming as in music, elegance is not optional" — Richard O'Keefe
Wrote 2000+ lines of code in ARMv7 assembly to design an interactive tom and jerry chasing game
Interacted with Memory Mapped I/O devices and implemented double buffering to avoid screen flickering
Manually initialized memory in the data section including sprite array structs and handwritten pixmaps
Developed responsive website for the Ethiopian Medical Students Association at St. Paul
Worked closely with student leader to gather requirements and iteratively design a site that reflects the organization’s mission
Implemented dynamic navigation, announcements, and promotional sections to support organizational outreach and engagement
A C++ application to parse and visualize campus map data, displaying building locations and nearby bus stops utilizing XML and threaded binary search tree
Integrated the Chicago Transit Authority’s Bus Tracker API with cURL to fetch real-time bus arrival predictions
Designed efficient geospatial algorithms to compute and display the closest bus stops to campus buildings
Developed a Python language interpreter in C, creating an execution environment using token-based processing.
Designed a fully functional 5-stage RISC-V CPU using Verilog with pipelining and a 32-bit execution unit.
Synthesized the processor in Cadence Genus with an estimated area of 24,300 µm² and target frequency of 725 MH
