01 / Selected work

Built with purpose.
Grounded in engineering.

Hardware, code, and the details in between. Explore the prototypes, inspect the layouts, and follow the work into the source.

01 / SILICON

From RTL to a working processor.

A pipelined RISC processor in SystemVerilog, with functional verification, synthesis, static timing analysis, and place-and-route using Cadence Genus and Innovus.

02 / VLSI

Precision at the physical layer.

A transistor-level digital IC layout in Cadence Virtuoso, with device placement, power rails, and signal routing. Transient simulations show the output response as inputs A, B, C, and D switch.

The design workflow includes design rule checking and layout-versus-schematic verification.

05 / EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

Vision that moves with you.

A Raspberry Pi smart grocery trolley prototype that follows a shopper carrying a designated QR marker. OpenCV camera processing guides the motors, while an ultrasonic sensor stops movement when an obstacle is within 20 cm.

Integrated HX711 load-cell measurements with weight-encoded QR codes on a TFT display and a Flask interface for live video, manual control, and scan logging. Weight measurement and QR-guided following were demonstrated; weight-verification scans used a phone after a camera module failed.

06 / AUDIO & MACHINE LEARNING

Finding structure in sound.

A CSE715 research project in PyTorch exploring music tagging and audio-text retrieval on MusicCaps. Modeled one-second audio segments with GraphSAGE, encoded captions with DistilBERT, and compared frozen multimodal fusion with text-only and audio-only baselines.

Across 3,964 usable audio clips, frozen fusion did not improve Macro-F1 over the text-only model. Contrastive training raised text-to-graph Recall@10 from 0.83% to 17.77% on 606 held-out pairs; a pretrained CLAP model reached 45.38%.

02 / About me

Silicon, signals,
and automation

I'm an Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduate from AIUB, currently pursuing a Master of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at BRAC University. My work spans RTL/VLSI design, real-time data acquisition, embedded systems, biomedical signal processing, and AI automation.

My capstone project — a cuffless blood‑pressure monitoring system built on ECG and PPG signal fusion — won AIUB's Best Capstone Project Award and was showcased at Broadband Expo 2026 and an international Magna Charta Observatory symposium.
