Experience & Projects

  • Reverse engineering of MP4 player (SPC Int. 8488, from 2014) — Personal project

    Jan. 2026 – Present
    • Reconstructed system architecture through physical teardown, PCB inspection, package identification, and datasheet triangulation under scarce documentation constraints.
    • Developed iterative schematic hypotheses, custom KiCad symbols/footprints, and overlay-based mechanical validation to progressively converge toward a simulation-ready model.
  • Design & fabrication of a digital wattmeter with PCB (KiCad) — INSA Toulouse

    Sept. 2025 – Nov. 2025
    • Designed and fabricated a mixed-signal measurement platform integrating analog front-end conditioning, STM32-based acquisition, and custom PCB layout.
    • Performed validation from power integrity and filtering analysis to firmware bring-up, ensuring repeatable measurement behavior and manufacturability constraints.
  • Autonomous sailboat control system using STM32 (embedded) — INSA Toulouse

    Sept. 2025 – Nov. 2025
    • Implemented embedded control logic on STM32 for autonomous navigation, integrating sensor acquisition, actuator control, and real-time system coordination.
    • Structured firmware at register-level granularity, ensuring deterministic behavior and robust control-loop execution under constrained hardware conditions.
  • Design & control of an autonomous car for NXP Cup (embedded) — INSA Toulouse

    Sept. 2025 – Present
    • Contributed to embedded system integration for autonomous vehicle platform, combining perception input, control algorithms, and real-time actuation.
    • Worked on system-level validation and tuning to ensure stable closed-loop performance under dynamic track conditions.
  • Design and simulation of an 8-bit CPU in VHDL (RTL architecture) — INSA Toulouse

    Sept. 2025 – Nov. 2025
    • Designed and simulated a complete 8-bit processor at RTL level, including datapath, control unit, and instruction decoding architecture.
    • Developed structured testbenches to validate functional correctness and timing behavior across multiple architectural iterations.
  • Independent development of an IDE using Python & PySide6 — Personal project

    Jun. 2025 – Present
    • Architected a desktop application enabling engineering-focused animated content generation, integrating LaTeX rendering and structured animation pipelines.
    • Designed modular software structure using object-oriented principles to support extensibility and maintainability.
  • STEM Tutor (Mathematics & Physics for High School) — Academia Romar (Burriana)

    Oct. 2022 – Jun. 2024
    • Delivered structured one-on-one instruction in mathematics and physics, adapting explanations to student-specific conceptual gaps.
    • Reinforced analytical reasoning and problem-solving methodologies through progressive exercise-based learning.
