I wrote a C++ demodulator for the wireless communications course taught at BYU. Labs were intended to be completed in Simulink, but I wrote every component in C++ and decoded each message. I was able to apply this code to data I collected using an RTL-SDR for differentially encoded QPSK.

This website (bryanredd.com) is completely self-hosted on a Raspberry Pi. I wrote a Flask server in Python to serve hand-made HTML and CSS pages using Jinja2 templates. Data is stored on a SQLite3 database.

I wrote a WAAS signal demodulator in C++ at Rincon Research. I focused on general-purpose, reusable code that could easy be ported into other pojects. This project included several DSP principles, including spread-spectrum modulation, resampling filters, correlation filters, Viterbi decoding of convolutional codes, frame synchronization using distributed preambles, and interpreting received message packets. I was able to obtain all of the information that they asked for before my internship ended.

My team developed a test bench for various texture algorithms outlined in Haralick's famous paper "Textural Features for Image Classification" for Sandia National Laboratories. We are specifically developed three algorithms in C++: a single-threaded, multi-threaded, and CUDA implementations. We used SWIG to create a Python user interface for ease of use.

This graduate level course consisted entirely of controlling a small RC car to detect lanes, avoid obstacles, and follow the rules of the road. We used an Intel RealSense camera for image, depth, and speed information. We also used a Nvidia GPU for processing. Our car navigated a to-scale road using several types of lane-following algorithms.

For my Junior Design Project, I designed a fully-functional, real-time laser tag system with range of over 60 feet. I implemented analog receiver amplifier circuitry on a PCB, and developed software for the on-board FPGA signal processing unit in C. This unit interfaced well with other units designed by my classmates, so we were able to play laser tag by the end of the semester.
