Design and Implementation of Multi Cycle RISC processor – Computer Architecture

• Made a 16-bit multicycle RISC processor from scratch to achieve the specifications asked.
• Add, Subtract, Shift, Load/Store, Jump, Branch and Logical instructions were implemented
• Designed the DataPath & ControlPath with the team (of 3), taking care of minimizing hardware & delay
• Implemented entire processor using Verilog HDL
• Wrote the testbench and testcases, and successfully tested all the instructions

Nand to Tetris – Entire Computer Engineering

• Build a fairly modern Computer System from the very basics, starting from logic gates to the Operating System
• Made AND, Or, Mux, etc. gates using NAND gates only, and then built modules such as Adder, Incrementor, etc. using them
• Wrote assembly programs for Multiplication and I/O handling and also wrote Assembler program
• Made a VM translator for converting high level to low level language

IEEE 754 Floating Point adder and Multiplier – Computer Architecture

• Achieved 16-bit signed addition/subtraction
• Also achieved signed multiplication by implementing radix 4 booth’s multiplier
• Successfully took care of rounding off mechanisms, overflow, underflow and NaN flags
• Carefully wrote test cases to check all the corner cases. Implemented the project using Verilog HDL

MOSFET Level Design of a 2:1 Multiplexer – Digital VLSI Design

• Designed the multiplexer using NAND gates only at 1Ghz frequency and 1pF load capacitance
• Designed NAND gates at the MOSFET level. Used Microwind and DSCH for the design
• Achieved propagation delay of 400ps and Power consumption of 0.15mW

Verification & Storage of biometrics – Blockchain and Software Development

• Worked with CSIR-CEERI to make a web-app that uses Blockchain and IPFS to store the biometrics of users by extracting unique features and verify it
• Extracted unique features from Biometrics using SIFT algorithm implemented using various libraries in Python, and stored them using IPFS
• Wrote a smart contract to store the obtained hashes from IPFS on a blockchain network
• Used ReactJs with Web3 for frontend and Flask for backend. Worked on the complete project
• Also implemented a matching Algorithm in Python to compare the extracted features for verification

BITS Open Sports Meet (BOSM) – Development

• Worked on website and registration software for the annual sports festival of BITS Pilani.
• Created various parts of website such as loader animations, ‘events’ section, etc. using ReactJs. Also integrated the backend based on Django
• Enabled seamless registration of over 2000 external visitors and participants

Checkmate – Web Development

• Developed a 3-D game event hosted on the internet for fellow college students.
• Worked on A-FRAME, which is a web framework for three.js.
• Implemented various features for game character such as movement, jumping, etc.

Stock Market Simulation (SMS) - Development

• For annual tech fest of BITS Pilani, developed and hosted SMS, in which a dummy stock market is created and participants trade in it with virtual cash.
• Implemented its frontend on ReactJs as well as backend on Express+NodeJs with the team.
• Developed its business logic (how prices will change after a particular transaction)
• Resulted in a participation of around 1500 people at peak time, a growth of 50% from the previous year

Events Chair, BITS-ACM

Handled all events such as SMS, Checkmate, talks & SIGs. Was also responsible for collaborations with professors & other clubs

BOSM Coordinator, Coding Club

Manage and ideate all the events of the club in BOSM.
