Hi there! My name is Farshad, and I'm an embedded and systems-focused Computer Science student at UBC, on track to graduate in April 2027. I've got hands-on experience in RTOS firmware development, STM32 microcontrollers, and performance-oriented C/C++ programming. I love to mess around with hardware in my day-to-day, so whenever I can bridge the gap between my software expertise and electronics, I just go for it!

Low-Level / Systems C / C++ · x86 Assembly · FreeRTOS · STM32CubeIDE · Verilog · GDB · Bash · Linux/UNIX

High-Level / Web Python · Java · JavaScript / TypeScript · Node.js · Playwright · Puppeteer · Docker · Pandas · TensorFlow · Power BI

Tools Git · GitHub · CUDA · Claude · Modbus/TCP · PyScada

Developing embedded C/C++ firmware for a competition racecar's brake and peripheral telemetry system over USB and I2C. Architected an interrupt-driven RTOS task scheduler that cut wasted CPU cycles by 30% under peak load. Debugged low-level peripheral and timing issues using STM32 reference manuals and hardware validation workflows.

Built a full-stack SCADA monitoring system using Modbus/TCP and PyScada, increasing active hardware control points by 47%. Refactored network communication flows to cut execution overhead by 33%, and authored documentation to support future scaling.

Scrapes and exports all reviews from a Letterboxd account to CSV. Bypassed CAPTCHA using Puppeteer's StealthPlugin with rotating proxies, and multi-threaded URL requests to reduce total execution time by 75%.

Shipped a full-stack volunteer matchmaking platform in 24 hours at HackTheChange 2025 (UCalgary national hackathon). Features user messaging, authentication, and non-blocking Vercel backend pipelines to maintain responsive rendering under burst loads.

Used multi-threading and GPU programming to multiply matrices of large sizes, over 120x faster than my CPU was able to output.
