ANDREW FESENKO · COMPUTER ENGINEERING · UF '27

I build intelligent systems, from the circuit up.

Hardware, firmware, and the AI that runs on it. I bring up boards, write the firmware that drives them, and put intelligence on the device itself. Currently building prototype hardware at Motorola Solutions.

WHAT I DO

One person, both sides of the stack.

Hardware & bring-up

The bridge between design and production — board bring-up and debug, design-for-manufacturability feedback to design teams, and the fixtures and SMT programs that get real boards built and tested.

  • BOARD BRING-UP
  • DFM FEEDBACK
  • SMT / FUJI FLEXA
  • PTC CREO

Embedded firmware

C/C++ on ESP32-class parts, learned by building — sensor reads, motor control, PID loops, UART/GPIO plumbing between chips.

  • C / C++
  • ESP32
  • PID CONTROL

Digital design & FPGA

SystemVerilog and VHDL through Quartus, ModelSim, and Vitis — coursework-deep now, headed toward computer architecture and chip design.

  • SYSTEMVERILOG
  • VHDL
  • QUARTUS

AI & perception

Project-taught computer vision — YOLO pipelines, OpenCV, and the unglamorous work of getting models running against real camera feeds.

  • YOLO / OPENCV
  • PYTHON

Software systems

The stack around the hardware — TypeScript, Next.js, REST APIs, and dashboards that make embedded projects usable.

  • TYPESCRIPT
  • NEXT.JS
  • REST APIS
PROJECTS

Systems that had to work in the real world.

Aegis

SWAMPHACKS XI WINNER

PPE compliance in labs usually runs on trust. Aegis enforces it: a camera and YOLO model verify safety equipment at the door, an ESP32 handles RFID and PIN authentication over UART and GPIO, and a Flask + React dashboard tracks compliance events in real time.

  • ESP32
  • YOLO
  • Python
  • Flask
  • React
  • MongoDB

CONTROLSEMBEDDED

Self-balancing cube

A cube that balances on an edge or a vertex. ESP32 reads an MPU6050 IMU and drives Nidec brushless motors through a PID loop, with Bluetooth calibration so the controller can be tuned live while the cube fights to stay upright.

  • ESP32
  • C++
  • MPU6050
  • PID
  • 3D printing

Sensor fusion & mapping station

UP NEXT

A defense-inspired sensing platform — not a robot that moves, a system that understands. LiDAR, camera, and IMU fused on a Raspberry Pi + ESP32 stack to build real-time SLAM maps and detect objects, with a live dashboard for situational awareness.

  • Raspberry Pi 5
  • ESP32
  • LiDAR
  • ROS2
  • SLAM
  • YOLO
AIFULL-STACK

EchoHire

A mock-interview platform you talk to. A voice agent runs role-specific technical and behavioral interviews, Gemini generates structured feedback, and a dashboard tracks performance across sessions.

  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Firebase
  • Gemini

Black Clover NLP

Maps character networks and themes across an entire anime's scripts — and lets you chat with the main character via a custom-trained model.

  • Python
  • Hugging Face
  • Scrapy
  • NetworkX

AI basketball analytics

YOLOv8 player and ball tracking with zero-shot team assignment, mapped to a top-down court for possession and movement stats.

  • Python
  • OpenCV
  • YOLOv8

GatorChef

Turns pantry photos and grocery receipts into budget-friendly meal plans for students, with OCR receipt parsing.

  • React
  • FastAPI
  • Firebase

GRMR tutoring platform

Tutoring platform for a nonprofit serving refugee and underserved K-12 learners — sign-up flows, lesson browsing, session management.

  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind

Let's build something.

Open to embedded, hardware, and systems engineering roles — from ASIC and board design to NPI and manufacturing. Or just a good conversation about robots, chips, and what to build next.
