I study Quantum Engineering at UNSW Sydney and enjoy taking projects through the complete engineering process: understanding the physics, designing the circuit, writing the firmware, building the hardware, creating the enclosure, and testing the resulting data.
My strongest interests sit where software meets physical systems. I work with microcontrollers and sensors, analogue and digital circuits, soldered and perfboard prototypes, PCB design, parametric CAD, 3D printing, data analysis, and scientific visualisation.
| Project | What I built | Engineering areas |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware QRNG and Entropy Source | An experimental green-LED and LM358 physical entropy-source investigation covering analogue circuit revisions, Arduino acquisition, preserved datasets, statistical audits, Python analysis and a printed enclosure sized for a future perfboard build. | Analogue electronics, Arduino, breadboarding, perfboard, Python, statistics, CAD |
| WALL-F Waste Sorting Robot | An autonomous DESN1000 ELEC waste-sorting robot that placed 2nd out of 30 teams, completed 16 correct RGB deposits in 10 minutes, and earned a High Distinction. | Arduino, PixyCam, sensors, motor control, calibration, robotics |
| Stratologger | An ESP32 environmental and inertial telemetry payload with microSD logging, a 320 by 240 mission-control display, fault reporting, documented electrical architecture and a parametric enclosure. Firmware and repository checks pass; physical bring-up and validation are the next stage. | ESP32, C++, sensors, I2C/SPI, telemetry, circuit design, CAD |
| Project | Focus |
|---|---|
| Quantum Circuit Sim | Browser-accessible quantum circuit simulation and visualisation using Python and Flask. |
| Particle Collider Visualiser | Interactive 3D particle-collision event display using FastAPI and Three.js. |
| Brahmanda | Interactive universe visualisation combining cosmology, field-inspired behaviour, particle events, entropy flow and audio-reactive geometry. |
| VPN From Scratch | Educational systems project exploring encrypted transport, packet routing and virtual network interfaces. |
| MMA Lab 3D | Interactive 3D movement and animation experiment using web graphics and motion assets. |
| Project | Direction |
|---|---|
| AstraQPU | A long-term virtual QPU runtime exploring architecture-aware scheduling, control and hardware-in-the-loop execution. |
| Area | Experience |
|---|---|
| Electronics | Analogue and digital circuit design, component integration, breadboarding, perfboarding, soldering, debugging and electrical bring-up |
| PCB design | Translating prototypes into organised schematics and PCB layouts, with attention to connectors, power, test points and physical constraints |
| Embedded systems | Arduino and ESP32 firmware, sensor integration, I2C and SPI buses, telemetry, data logging, displays and status/fault systems |
| Mechanical design | Parametric CAD, electronics enclosures, mechanism design, fit checks, FDM prototyping and design iteration |
| Quantum and physics | Quantum circuits, Qiskit workflows, QPU architecture and runtime concepts, quantum control, entropy-source investigation, semiconductor physics and scientific visualisation |
| Software and data | C, C++, Python, JavaScript, data acquisition, validation tools, APIs, interactive interfaces and reproducible analysis |
- Bringing Stratologger from documented firmware and electrical design into physical assembly, sensor testing and validated telemetry captures.
- Continuing the QRNG investigation through a simpler analogue revision before transferring a verified design to perfboard and its printed enclosure.
- Developing stronger PCB, soldering, CAD and system-integration skills through complete software-to-hardware builds.
- Building scientific tools that make quantum, physics and engineering systems easier to inspect and understand.
