Patient Temperature & Blood Pressure Monitoring System using PIC16F877A:

• Designed real-time health monitoring system using PIC16F877A with LM35 temperature sensor (±0.5°C accuracy) and potentiometer-based BP simulation (90/50 to 180/120 mmHg range).
• Implemented multiplexing technique to control dual 4-digit 7-segment displays with flicker-free real-time updates.
• Developed firmware in mikroC with interrupt-driven display refresh and continuous sensor polling.

FloraVolt – Intelligent Solar Tracking with Motion Planning:

• Developed autonomous dual-axis tracking system combining trajectory planning with reinforcement learning for optimal solar panel orientation
• Implemented realistic motor control system with velocity (15°/s) and acceleration (5°/s²) constraints using quintic polynomial trajectories
• Integrated astronomical solar positioning calculations (pysolar) with cosine law-based power modeling for accurate energy predictions
• Achieved 41% energy improvement while maintaining motor energy consumption below 2% of total gain through intelligent motion optimization

• Telc German B1 Certification (287/300)
