During their work on the Rice-MECE-Capstone-Projects/SwitchMCU repository, Brian Tran developed a foundational project skeleton and implemented a 32-bit RISC-V ISA core in Verilog, enabling instruction processing with modules for fetch, decode, execute, and hazard detection. Brian also delivered comprehensive documentation for RISC-V address map validation, clarifying validation logic and onboarding steps to streamline future development. Their technical approach emphasized maintainable digital design and clear technical writing, leveraging skills in FPGA design, SystemVerilog, and Python scripting. The depth of their contributions established a scalable base for hardware/software integration and improved project accessibility for new contributors and collaborators.
