Computer and Electrical Engineer

<About me>

  • Thanks for checking my site! I am Sunny Nguyen and I am currently a fourth-year student at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. I'm double majoring in both Electrical and Computer Engineering. I enjoy working on designing PCB circuits/systems, designing ICs, and many more.

  • To further my experience and goals, I've spent alot of time on many projects from RF telecommunications to making whole custom Linux boards from scratch. As of now, I'm looking to increase my expertise in making custom ASICs and ICs be it analog or digital. I will be updating my progress both on this site and on LinkedIn.

Projects

  • I have done many projects as shown below. Please keep it in mind that most of these projects will be hardware-focused as that is the industry I'm targeting.

  • I've done more project than these, however I've only present these below as they're either what I'm proud of the most or represent my skillset the most.

  • You can also check my GitHub as it contains more projects.

  • Project List:

  • 1) Celesti-Call

  • 2) Project Singularity

  • 3) Project Casper

  • 4) HTC64

  • 5) 68uino

  • 6) Dual RP2040 ESC


1) Celesti-Call

  • CelestiCall is a phone with a somewhat outdated concept that I've developed for the Summer of 2024. The purpose of the phone? to allow me to learn and get experience on many computer subjects all at once. Specifically, this will teach me power system design, FPGA design, 3D printing, communication, Linux, web design and many more.


2) Project Singularity

  • Project Singularity is a rocket project that saw us making a 6ft long solid rocket to compete in FAR 50k. I was a member in the Avionics team and worked with others to create an avionics bay. I've learned a great many things from this project including 3D printing, SolidWork, designing altimeters, etc. We won the competition against 4 other colleges in the year 2023.


3) Project Casper

  • This is basically a continuation of Project Singularity above, however with a large difference, we're now making a liquid rocket. This will be the first liquid rocket created and fly by Cal Poly Pomona. I've been promoted for this project due to my previous roles and performance as Avionics Team Lead. As such, I've led a team of 7 to create the newer avionics bay with more peripherals and smaller footprint. This position has allowed me to learn what it's like to be in a leadership role and to design a more complicated system for a more complicated rocket.


4) HTC64

  • HTC64 stands for "Hit that counter" is a computer architecture project. I started this project to learn more about designing a computer from scratch. As such, I decided to start with 8-bit ICs like the 6502 or Z80 CPU. This has helped me a lot in learning PCB production, assembly programming and just designing a whole system from beginning to end. After finishing an 8-bit computer, I moved to 16-bit, and so on. I did consider my "Celesti-Call" project as being under this, however that has grown much larger than this project entailed. It was supposed to be the 32-bit stage of this project.


5) 68uino

  • This is very similar to HTC64 in project scope. I've decided here to design a minimalistic microcontroller from the left over parts I had for the previous projects. This resulted in an Arduino compatible form factor 8-bit microcontroller with a 6800-based CPU. However the largest differentiator between the two projects is the available system resource. For comparison, The above featured HTC64 8-bit computer had up to 64kB of RAM and ROM. Meanwhile, the 68uino only had 256 bytes of RAM available, forcing me to be more efficient with my program if I want it to do anything useful.
