Projects

Guitar Interface for Polyphonic Modular Synthesizer

Guitar Interface for Polyphonic Modular Synthesizer

Designed custom PCBs and developed a polyphonic guitar interface module using an STM32 to sample and process guitar signals from a hex-coil pickup for pitch tracking, outputting control voltages to the Eurorack ecosystem. Laid out and assembled 6-channel VCO, VCA, and mixer modules for prototype demonstration.

8-bit CPU on FPGA

8-bit CPU on FPGA

Designed an 8-bit CPU with control unit, decoder, ALU, and RAM-based instruction memory using Quartus Prime and VHDL. Implemented real-time debugging by displaying register values on a 7-segment display to visualize system state and instruction execution.
