About Me
Facilitating VR/AR growth at CSULB, creating data acquisition solutions for rocketry avionics, and a passion for SoC & Embedded development.
Featured Projects
8-bit RISC Processor on FPGA
Developed a digital calculator using an 8-bit RISC architecture in Xilinx Vivado for the Nexys A7-100T FPGA. Designed a UI with slide switches for input, push buttons for operations, and 7-segment displays for results. Built core modules—including an ALU with an 8-bit Ripple Carry Adder/Subtractor, an Array Multiplier/Divider, and a 16-bit register—and implemented a time-multiplexing scheme with self-checking test benches.
Space Invaders
Developed an interactive LCD game on the TM4C123 microcontroller using the SSI protocol. Integrated potentiometer controls, sound effects via an R2R DAC with an amplifier, and precise animations using a SysTick Timer with interrupts. Documented the project with schematics, a software flowchart, and a breadboarded prototype featuring a Nokia5110 LCD, ADC, and internal DAC modules.
Augmented/Virtual Reality Kitchen Simulator
Project Lead
Developed an AR cooking experience that overlays digital ingredients and tools onto a real kitchen via an AR headset for safe, interactive lessons. Led a team of five to implement fluid dynamics, kinematics, and texture meshes, and created C# scripts in OpenXR Unity for a step-by-step recipe guide with tutorial videos.
OOP Banking System
Developed an interactive banking console website supporting checking, savings, and credit accounts. Leveraged C/C++ skills with dynamic memory allocation, pointers, UML diagrams, vectors, and queues.
XR Drone
Project Lead
Led a team of six to construct a 6-inch drone through CAD modeling and 3D-printing the chassis, soldering FC/ESC and BLDC motors via workshops, all with the goal of developing a 3-DOF telexistence drone controlled by a head mounted display via a Quest 3 application.

Leadership & Extracurricular Activities
Beach Launch Team
Avionics Lead
Collaborated with CSULB's liquid rocketry student organization—specializing in the design, fabrication, and testing of liquid fuel rockets—to enhance the legacy relay control and pressure transducer system by engineering an alternative solution that leverages the ESP-32's Wi-Fi module for RT data integration.
- Engineered and executed comprehensive data acquisition during the successful Theseus rocket static fire, capturing pressure readings from transducers, thrust force via load cells, and temperature metrics using a LabJack DAQ and NI-DAQ.
XR Engineering Club
Founder/President
Founded CSULB's first student-led academic COE club for developing VR/AR software and hardware in robotics, supported by Professor Emel Demircan.
- Created "The Hub" virtual reality environment, featuring a VR Planet Simulator, Hole-in-the-Wall VR experience with full-body collision tracking, and AR Kitchen Simulator, developed collaboratively using Unity and GitHub.
- Equipment sponsored by CSULB's ISPACE through 3D printing/scanning, VR labs, Quest 3 headsets, and labs to host meetings/workshops.
- Demonstrated "The Hub" at CSULB's COE Senior Design Expo alongside the HPRL/MetaCenter booth.
CSULB Human Performance and Robotics Lab
MetaCenter Student Lead
Mentored by Dr. Emel Demircan, who advanced the MetaCenter mission through research, such as integrating VR environments with haptic feedback for the psychological rehabilitation of soccer athletes.
- MetaCenter focuses on expanding education using VR/AR; HPRL focuses on research in rehabilitation robotics and deep learning in sports biomechanics.
