Projects

// SRAM — live, working systems
AUTONOMOUS NAV

Micromouse Robot

Custom PCB around an STM32 BlackPill with ToF sensors, encoders, and IMU. Floodfill path planning with dynamic re-planning, gyro-fused dead reckoning, and PID differential drive for drift-free traversal.

SECURE IOT

Cyber-Resilient IoT Security System

Distributed ESP32 nodes with a Raspberry Pi server; every device event logged immutably to Hyperledger. OTA re-flashing pipeline with RSA signatures and SHA-256 validation over HTTPS to recover compromised nodes.
