Systems and Architecture

BBC Micro:Bit Assembly Project

Assembly

Designed and implemented a dynamic light show in assembly, later extending it into a mini-RPG style game using finite state machine logic. The project required careful register management and efficient coding practices, deepening my understanding of low-level programming and its applications in higher-level languages.

Microarchitecture & ISA CPU Project

Digital

Designed the microarchitecture and instruction set architecture (ISA) of an extended CPU in Digital, including the implementation of a stack data structure. Optimised modular design and minimized logic gate usage while balancing the trade-offs between ISA features and microarchitecture complexity.

Operating Systems - Scheduling Simulator

Java

Implemented a process scheduling simulator supporting multiple priority-based algorithms. Analysed performance to compare the strengths and limitations of each approach, recommending appropriate use cases based on efficiency and trade-offs.

Version Control System

Bash Script, Ubuntu

Developed a version control system using Bash script on Ubuntu to manage files efficiently. Provided clarity on project requirements to the team, ensuring all members understood their tasks, contributing to faster project completion. Encouraged regular team meetings and actively sought input from teammates, leading to innovative solutions and enhanced team cohesion.

Web & Embedded Projects

Morse Code Learning Tool

Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Developed an interactive tool to help users learn Morse code by integrating embedded systems with network functionality. Designed a user-friendly interface to ensure accessibility for all users. Took responsibility for time management, assigning individual tasks and maximising productivity during in-person meetings.

Web Development Project

HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, GitHub

Designed and developed a responsive website inspired by Roller Coaster Tycoon. Implemented responsive design techniques to ensure the page adapts smoothly to various screen sizes. Learned to use GitHub for version control and collaboration, facilitating seamless coordination and code management throughout the project.
