ABOUT ME
I am a biomedical engineering student at Toronto Metropolitan University with hands-on experience in programming, CAD design, and medical device development. I have worked on innovative projects including 3D LiDAR scanners, custom drones, and EMG-controlled prosthetics. My technical skills in C++, Python, manufacturing systems and electrical systems (CMOS, FPGA, VHDL), combined with healthcare experience, position me to create impactful solutions in biomedical technology and engineering applications.
3D LiDAR Scanner For Medical Imaging
- Designed and built a 3D LiDAR scanner from scratch using Fusion360 and 3D printing for structural components - Systematically created schematics in Ki-CAD to integrate a Time-Of-Flight sensor, 2 servo motors, and an ESP 8266. - Integrated...
TrueMotion - High-Density EMG Assistive Device using Machine Learning
– Developing a non-invasive assistive system that decodes fine muscle intent using high-density EMG arrays and neural-network architectures. – Implemented a CNN–LSTM pipeline for temporal feature extraction and low-latency classification of EMG...
Prosthetic Hand with Vision-Based Control
– Designed a 3D-printed prosthetic hand actuated by servo motors and controlled using both EMG signals and webcam-based intent detection. – Implemented Python + OpenCV gesture detection and streamed control signals over Wi-Fi to an ESP8266...
