About Me

Hardware to Software, All the Way Down

I'm Ozan Ekame Pekgoz, a Computer Engineering student at Boston University who builds things at every level of the stack — from Verilog FSMs on an FPGA to WASM-compiled C++ running natively in the browser.

I care about understanding why things work, not just that they do. When I built the Color Sorter, the interesting part wasn't gluing an Arduino to a sensor — it was designing the light-robust thresholds and the deterministic servo control loop that made it 95% accurate across 100 trials.

Outside engineering: I'm a BU College of Engineering Student Advisor, basketball coach, and member of the AI Society and Mars Rover clubs. I also play piano, surf, and collect vinyl.

What I've Built

CLASS WINNER
Jan 2025 – May 2025
Color Sorter Machine
Arduino + TCS34725 color sensor sorter with 95% accuracy across 100 trials, ~10 items/min throughput at ~21W power — built under $106. Designed light-robust detection thresholds and a deterministic servo/stepper control loop; LCD displays live per-color counts.
ArduinoC++ Servo ControlSensors
Jan 2025 – May 2025
FPGA Binary Conversion Game
Full Verilog stack on FPGA: FSM game logic, debounced inputs, Binary-to-BCD converter, seven-segment decode with clock-divided multiplex refresh. Pseudo-random prompt generation, live timer/score display, and per-module testbenches for stable, flicker-free output.
VerilogFPGA VivadoFSM
Sep 2024 – Dec 2024
Unit Converter Web App
Offline WASM (C/C++) + JavaScript app covering 15+ conversion categories with custom unit rules — all calculations compile and run natively in the browser. Persistent history log with one-click .txt export; optimized UI for smooth runtime.
