About Me

I'm Daniel, an aspiring engineer located in the GTA. I am currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, and constantly exploring the limitless possibilities of software and electronics. My enthusiasm has led me to grow an interest in programming, PCB design, embedded software development, and more recently, Machine Learning. This encourages me to continuously broaden my knowledge, and I am deeply passionate about taking on projects that align with my interests.

My Projects

FLIGHT CONTROLLER PCB

Designed and fabricated a custom flight controller in KiCad featuring the STM32F446RE microcontroller with ICM-42670P IMU and BMP390 barometric sensor. Implemented UART, SPI, CAN, SWD debugging, and ESC interfaces, with firmware development and testing in STM32CubeIDE.

Developed in KiCad & STM32CubeIDE

ASCII ART GENERATOR

Created an ASCII art generator that converts any image into ASCII representation using the Python Imaging Library (PIL) to process pixels and map brightness to characters.

Developed in Python

HAND TRACKER COMPUTER VISION

Developed a hand-tracking program using advanced computer vision techniques to accurately detect and track hand movements in real-time, enabling gesture recognition and interactive applications.

Developed in Python

BATTERY CHARGER PCB

Created a fully functional Li-Po battery charger circuit in KiCad, incorporating key design elements for safe and efficient charging to meet precise electrical engineering standards.

VOLTAGE REGULATOR PCB

Designed and implemented a fully functional voltage regulator circuit in KiCad, optimizing stability, efficiency, and performance to ensure reliable power delivery for advanced electronic applications.

SUDOKU SOLVER

Created a program that utilizes a recursive backtracking algorithm to proficiently solve any Sudoku puzzle provided.
Developed in C++
