Bo Ti - Embedded Software Developer

About Me

2nd year Electrical Engineering student at UBC pursuing embedded software development — drivers, firmware, and real-time systems. Experienced in low-level programming with Assembly and C/C++, with scripting proficiency in Python for automation and tooling.

I focus on embedded software development — writing drivers, firmware, and real-time control systems. My Python experience is in scripting and automation tooling, complementing my core work in low-level systems.

La Voiture — robot car with handheld controller

Featured Project

La Voiture — Field Tracking & Remote Controlled Robot

Three-mode robot car (line-following, joystick teleoperation, autonomous waypoint navigation) with STM32L051 car, EFM8LB12 handheld controller, and PyQt5 PC dashboard. Designed a custom bidirectional IR protocol through 5 iterations, achieving 27 fps throughput. Led team of 6.

Featured Project

8052 Oven Reflow Controller

A reflow soldering controller written entirely in 8052 Assembly on the DE10-Lite FPGA platform. I designed the pub-sub architecture with bit-addressable memory as a signal bus, and wrote all core FSMs including the 7-stage reflow control workflow.
