About Me
I'm a computer engineering student at Imperial College London focused on systems programming, computer architecture, and infrastructure. I'm currently interested in operating systems, networking, and backend systems. I'm currently working with a PYNQ-Z FPGA board and am learning how different programming languages work under the hood.
In the past, I've built a UNIX shell in C and designed a RISC-V processor in SystemVerilog. I also work on applied AI projects where I've designed and deployed full stack applications. I also love building at hackathons.

Projects
A selection of projects I've worked on.
POSIX-compliant shell implementation in C with job control, I/O redirection, pipes, batched commands, and subshells.
C
32-bit RISC-V processor implementation with pipelined architecture, hazard detection, and caching.
SystemVerilogRISC-V
UDP-based chat system with multi-threading on client and server. Supports broadcast and private messages, rename, mute, admin kick, chat history on join, and inactivity timeout.
CShell
Real-time workplace safety monitoring using YOLOv8 object detection and video analysis. Built for UC Berkeley AI Hackathon.

If you'd like to get in touch, go here. I'm really interested in pretty much anything related to tech and startups, and I'd love to talk about it.
