Banking and Supermarket Software
• Design and implementation of a banking and supermarket software in Java for the purpose
of managing accounts and buying products using a bank account from the banking software.
• Communication between the two software by means of a TCP socket.
• Successfully learned and reinforced OOP principles, Java Generics, Factory Templates and others.
• Academic project developed during my University Course.
Visualization of Complex Data Problem
• Desktop Java application for the visualisation of complex data relationships.
• Focused on the visualization complex scheduling task solutions produced by an optimisation algorithm.
• Successfully developed an effective interactive visualization strategy that could analyse,
compare different solutions and provide key analysis information for the developer and the user.
Design of an Airsoft Prop
• Personal project based on the design and production of an electronic device for Airsoft to enrich gameplay.
• Self-taught how to program PicMicrocontrollers, simulate project on Proteus 8 and PCB, 3D modelling of the case.
• Managed to sell 10 copies and learnt how to balance features vs cost based on market research and customer feedback.
• Made use of 3D printing for case production.
Measuring Bicycling Performances
• A group project focused on the development of a device for the measure of the speed, inclination, gear ratio and pressure exerted on the pedals of a bicycle.
• Successfully collaborated with the team by helping with the development of the sensors and the software for the PicMicrocontroller in C, a Java app for the computer and an Android app for the streaming and control of the data.
• Project exhibited at Brunel Engineers Showcase 2017.

FPGA ACO Parallel
Implementation in OpenCL
• Project focused on the conversion of an existing C++ and CUDA project to OpenCL
to exploit FPGA parallelism strategies and improve performance of the algorithm.
• Successfully implemented the algorithm on FPGA and achieved a portable code for execution on GPUs and CPUs.
Evolutionary Strategy Novel Implementation
• Project focused on the development of ES based on existing ACO C++ for Transportation Network Optimization.
• Managed to develop a novel implementation of ES that performed faster than ACO under certain conguration.
• Novel ES implementation demonstrated better objective results that ACO did not prove to achieve yet.
Design of a QuadCopter
• Personal project based on the design and implementation of a quadcopter for video recording and aerobatic flight.
• Achieved 30 minutes of flight with a stable motor response.
• Quadcopter controlled and monitored via Android app.
• Video feed streamed on a remote display and also camera recorded.
• Inspired me to learn more about electronics, embedded hardware and motor control.
