Supported AI-driven embedded system solutions using the RZ/V microprocessor platform- Developed expertise in Linux virtual machines using VirtualBox and Docker for system compatibility and development- Built custom board support packages and SDKs optimized for AI application development- Compiled and deployed AI models with Python and DRP-AI TVM for real-time AI processing- Modified and compiled Vision AI demo applications with the RZ/V2L MPU and Google's Coral camera- Documented technical processes and troubleshooting steps for internal application notes.Collaborated closely with Renesas' sales team to prepare product demos for clients- Validated AI-powered barcode scanning software on RZ/V2L and demoed the final application- Tested detection range and accuracy for 17 common 1D and 2D barcodes

Revamped a "winning combo" mini-HVAC system to showcase Renesas' newest products in action- Designed power sequencing and safety controls using cascaded buck regulators and a GreenPAK programmable IC- Implemented DC blower fan control and PWM generation with HVPAK level-shifting IC- Developed embedded C code on a 32-bit RA6M4 MCU to interface with an air quality sensor module via I2C, adjusting fan speed based on temperature data- Transmitted temperature data via BLE PMOD using UART, viewable on a mobile app- Used FreeRTOS to manage sensor and BLE tasks

Assisted in the design and programming of an LED test device used to determine the luminosity and hue of LEDs in keyboards, fans, and water pump units.Completed hardware and software validation tests for human interface devices (keyboards, mice, headsets).Verified the functionality of features including hardware macros, custom lighting, and wireless connectivity.

Assisted with research into constituent concerns and made telephone calls regarding events.Contributed to community newsletter and developed award certificates.
