Rahul Ramachandran

Electrical Engineering Student @UNSW

Passionate about building high-performance digital systems — with a focus on embedded systems and FPGAs.

Current Focus

I'm designing a 32-bit RISC-V CPU from scratch in VHDL as part of a personal project. The goal is to build a minimal working processor that can run compiled C programs on an FPGA - specifically my Arty A7 100T.

I'm also actively working with Redback Racing, focusing on embedded systems development within the team’s high-performance electric vehicles.

Selected Projects

Hardware accelerator implemented on an Arty A7 100T for a custom neural network design from scratch in Python, trained for MNIST digit recognition

Custom STM32-based BMS tailored for single-cell lithium-ion applications. Features include voltage monitoring, fault detection, and UART-based diagnostics.
