Assembled various IP cores in Quartus and Verilog to create a diagnostic tool for an FPGA board with Tcl scripts - Developed a C program to communicate with the FPGA over UART and display diagnostic information #project("PNG Validator", "C") - Created a PNG file validator to find common errors and corruption by checking metadata and computing CRCs // memory safety w/Valgrind - Ran tests behind Valgrind to ensure memory safety, prevent memory leaks, and maintain accuracy #project( "Box Box Revolution", "Rust, STM32", repo_link: "https://github.com/potatoeggy/boxboxrevolution", ) - Created a rhythm game to detect punches with an ultrasonic sensor in time with notes of popular songs - Developed firmware to measure from an ultrasonic sensor, tone a buzzer, and show scrolling notes on an LCD #project("Climate Controller", "ARM Assembly, VHDL") - Programmed an FPGA to heat/cool a theoretical room to a target temperature given switch-controlled inputs - Added conditions such as avoiding changes if windows are open, vacation mode, and realistic heating curves // #project( // "Kobo Sync Server", // "Rust, Axum", // repo_link: "https://github.com/potatoeggy/kobink", // ) // - *Reimplemented the Kobo Store Sync protocol* in an Axum backend to instead sync // personal ebook files // - Deployed the service behind an nginx reverse proxy and Cloudflare DNS to allow // syncing over the internet #project( "Mandown Comic Downloader", "Python, Qt", repo_link: "https://github.com/potatoeggy/mandown", ) - Created a CLI and GUI to scrape, download, and convert webcomics into e-ink-optimised ebooks (EPUB, PDF) - Designed a *scalable data conversion system* via a canonical format, allowing any format to convert to any other - Implemented *image caching and multithreading* to increase download and update speeds by *300%* // #project( // "Genshin Rewards Simulator", // "Vue, TypeScript", // repo_link: "https://github.com/potatoeggy/primoprod", // demo_link: "https://primoprod.vercel.app", // ) // - Built a realistic and beautiful *loot box simulator* with CSS animations based // off a popular game // - Reduced action latency by *90%* by lazily loading art assets at opportune times, // such as during cutscenes // #project( // "RecipeReady", // "https://github.com/vincentjguo/recipeready-server", // "Flutter, Selenium, FastAPI, Android", // ) // - Developed a *Flutter app* to generate recipes based on ingredients and filters // through a FastAPI server // - Scraped thousands of websites for recipes to build a database with a robust // *many-to-many tag system* // - Aggregated common ingredients heuristically to build a shopping list and a meal // plan for each week // #project("Arch Linux Server", "Linux, Docker, nginx, systemd", demo_link: "https://eggworld.me") // - Created a *self-hosted CI/CD pipeline* with *Gitea* to automatically deploy // personal projects behind *nginx* // - Containerised services with *Docker* and *systemd* to simplify deployment and // management // #project( // "Game Boy Advance Emulator", // "Rust, SDL2, Vulkan", // repo_link: "https://github.com/potatoeggy/gbarr", // ) // -
