• ▸Multi-Port Signal Viewer — real-time ECG/EMG/EEG streaming with synchronized graphs, cine playback with speed control, signal merging, and automated PDF reporting.
• ▸Signal Equalizer — slider-driven frequency editing with Uniform, Music & Animals, Vocal, and Wiener modes; live Fourier view on linear and audiogram scales, plus dynamic spectrograms.
• ▸Image Mixer — a Fourier magnitude/phase mixer that shows how much of an image each component carries, with adjustable weights and region selection.
• ▸Sampling Studio — sampling and reconstruction against the Nyquist rate, with configurable SNR to show how noise and aliasing interact.
• ▸Shazam-like App — audio fingerprinting via spectrogram + perceptual hashing, with ranked similarity matching across a track repository.

BUILT WITH A TEAM OF FIVE OVER A DSP COURSE SEQUENCE

• ▸Spotify Web API integration pulls the user’s saved playlists and liked songs, with 30-second track playback.
• ▸Lyrics are fetched per track, and every word is clickable for a definition and pronunciation.
• ▸Singing is recorded and transcribed with the Google Cloud Speech API.
• ▸Levenshtein distance compares the transcript against the real lyrics and scores the attempt out of 100.
• ▸Responsive for desktop and mobile.

• ▸React + Tailwind storefront with product listings, detail views, cart, and checkout.
• ▸A custom-order form lets buyers submit their own puppet request with an image upload.
• ▸Admin dashboard for managing products, orders, and incoming special requests.
• ▸Express REST API over MongoDB — /record for products, /orders, and /specialRequests.
• ▸End-to-end tests with Cypress.

• ▸Bare-metal ATmega32 drivers written from scratch: LCD, keypad, DIO, external interrupts, and UART.
• ▸An ESP32 bridges the microcontroller to a web server, relaying commands from the browser to the MCU.
• ▸Lights, locks, and appliances respond in real time from the web interface.
• ▸The whole system was simulated and tested in Proteus before it went to hardware.

• ▸Filtering and noise models, then edge detection with Canny and active contours (snakes).
• ▸SIFT keypoint detection and descriptor matching.
• ▸Segmentation with K-means and Otsu thresholding.
• ▸A face recognition pipeline built on top of the same primitives.
• ▸Everything implemented from first principles rather than called from a library.

• ▸A complete rules engine in Java: legal move generation, check and checkmate detection, castling, en-passant, and promotion.
• ▸Swing GUI with per-player timers.
• ▸Written as the object-oriented programming final project — the piece hierarchy and board state are the design exercise.
