Hello!

  • 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.

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. ...
