Projects
FPGA Implementation of AES
In Fall of 2019, as the final project for my embedded systems class, I along with three of my classmates implemented the AES block cipher algorithm in Verilog and wrapped it as an AXI slave so that it could be used by a MicroBlaze
MITRE Embedded Capture the Flag Competition
This year I am competing in the MITRE eCTF competition. It is a semester long competition in which teams from universities across the country each create a secure embedded system and then try to hack each others designs. For the project we implemented several cryptographic functions on an FPGA to improve the performance of our system. We designed our own 1024 bit RSA module, using the left to right modular exponentiation algorithm for improved performance.
Skills
C Programming
I have over two year of experience with the C programming language, both in an academic and professional setting. I have an understanding of fundamental concepts important in embedded systems such as memory management and memory mapped registers.
FPGA Programming
I have experience with Verilog and VHDL, and have developed AES and RSA hardware accelerators using Verilog. My main development environment has been Vivado, and I have gained some experience in automating builds using TCL scripts.
