My Projects

Radio Frequency Circuit Design

August, 2025

For detailed reading on theory & design: AM transmitter, Amplifiers AM transmitter

130 kHz (Low Frequency) AM transmitter, based on 555 timer:

Generates square waves which are filtered and then used to modulate input audio signal.

Added DC filtering for antenna, replaced mic input for 3.5mm.

Created schematics and
designed a PCB, for practice.

Smart Navigation Hat

Feb-May, 2025

For more details: BatHat SS of site!

Embedded project, implementing LiDAR sensing and an image model from Gemini for object detection and navigation.

Experimented using ESP32 and sending camera data serially over I2C, as well as over IP network connection; resorted to Pi 3B for better processing speeds.

Subway Load Capacity Tracker

April-May, 2024

Train Tracker App Screenshot Train Tracker App Screenshot

A real-time application that tracks train locations and provides arrival predictions using public transit APIs.

Gained experience using Google's static & realtime GTFS and implementing object detection machine learning models (Ultralytics).

Discontinued due to lack of inside hardware support on trains (AKA, ahead of the times).
