Zayd Yusufi

Electrical and Computer Engineering student with hands-on experience in embedded systems, digital hardware design, and engineering analysis. Developed FPGA audio systems, Arduino-based instrumentation, and mathematical simulation models through academic projects. Strong problem-solving skills with experience documenting and presenting technical work in team environments.

• FPGA Musical Keyboard & Audio Synthesizer - designed a modular FPGA musical keyboard using Verilog modules for debouncing, note logic, song sequencing, and audio mixing. Implemented Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) with a 48 kHz sample tick derived from a 100 MHz system clock and produced audio through a high-speed PWM output routed to the FPGA DAC interface.
• Building Thermal System Modeling - modeled indoor temperature dynamics using Newton's Law of Cooling and simulated environmental effects using MATLAB and Runge-Kutta numerical methods. Evaluated HVAC control impacts and safety thresholds through multi-day simulations.
• Matrix-Based Image Processing System - developed MATLAB functions for image processing using matrix operations including color channel manipulation, grayscale conversion, exposure adjustment, geometric transformations, and Discrete Sine Transform compression.
