Hello, I'm Ridwan. I'm a Computer Engineering Student studying at The Georgia Institute of Technology with 4 years of experience. My focus is Computing Hardware and Emerging Architectures and Distributed Systems and Software Design.
I’m currently working on a few projects and looking for new opportunities. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or just want to connect!
About Me
My passion for technology has led me to build projects across embedded systems, hardware-software co-design, automation, and web development. My current research in Robotic Human Augmentation at Georgia Tech has deepened my understanding of biomedical innovation and the importance of universal healthcare coverage, while my experience in UGA's CURO Research Program allowed me to explore astrophysics and computational research under the guidance of Dr. Nandana Weliweriya and Professor Inseok Song. I was awarded a $1000 CURO Research Reward and had the opportunity to present at the Spring 2024 CURO Research Symposium.
Outside of engineering, I enjoy digital music production in FL Studio and optimizing 3D rendering workflows in Blender.
Career Goals
I am especially interested in aerospace engineering and national security initiatives.
I am currently seeking an internship or co-op as a Cloud Computing and Infrastructure Security Engineer, Embedded Systems and Computing Hardware Engineer, or Software Engineer.
My interest in aerospace inspired me to build an API for an air traffic control system interfaced with an FPGA on a DE10 development board. I am currently building a cybersecurity homelab to deepen my knowledge of network security.
My ambition is to deepen my expertise in chip design, GPU architecture, integrating AI and ML into my workflows, and building secure cyber-physical and embedded systems.
