- I’m Hamza Anver, from Sri Lanka, currently a Junior at New York University, majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Engineering.
- I have a strong interest in embedded systems, electronics, computers, game development, cats, and other related subjects.
- During the summer of 2024, I interned at Sri Lanka Telecom’s Digital Lab, where I contributed to projects such as generating synthetic data for training ML models on Sri Lankan license plates. I also developed an embedded library for Industrial IoT, which facilitated MQTT communication and updates via LTE and WiFi.
- In the Spring and summer of 2023, I was part of nyuad.space, a rocketry team of five Engineering and Computer Science students based in NYUAD’s Engineering Design Studio. My contributions included working on an HDRM in collaboration with JUCI, the HALOSHIP high-powered amateur rocket, and Rocat v1.1, a custom high-speed data logger and flight computer.
- Additionally, I enjoy working on personal projects. A recent one is a web-based Gridfinity Generator, inspired by Zack Freedman (VoidStarLab)’s Gridfinity system.
SLT / Industrial IoT firmware
At SLT, I developed firmware for an Industrial IoT board that used LTE and WiFi communication, focusing on seamless MQTT protocol switching and ensuring easy configuration for future developers and contractors. ...
SLT / ANPR Data Generation
At SLT, I worked on developing a system to generate synthetic images for training Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems using Blender and Python. ...
nyuad.space / RoCat v1.1.0
RoCat v1.1 is a 6-layer, 54mm x 80mm flight computer designed for use in high-powered rockets like the HALOSHIP rocket in the SpacePort America Cup. The system’s primary goals include recording sensor data, communicating with a ground station, and providing GPS-based recovery capabilities, among other essential functions for rocket deployment and control. ...
nyuad.space / HALOSHIP
While I was part of the nyuad.space team, I had the opportunity to work on HALOSHIP, a high-powered amateur rocket. ...
nyuad.space / HDRM
While at nyuad.space, I worked on a Hold Down and Release Mechanism (HDRM) in collaboration with NASA JPL’s University Crowdsourcing Initiative (JUCI). This project focused on creating a mechanically and electrically redundant system for small satellite payloads. The design emphasized reliability and reusability for pre-flight testing and deployment. ...
