Kevin Lin developed and optimized a hardware FFT kernel over three months in the vic9112/final_project_2025 repository, focusing on throughput, reliability, and calibration for real-time signal processing. He implemented a multi-BPE FFT pipeline and expanded state machines using Verilog and SystemVerilog, improving data flow and memory interface performance. His work included refactoring kernel modules to reduce resource usage, stabilizing state transitions, and introducing deterministic calibration logic. By addressing edge-case handling and memory write gating, Kevin enhanced both correctness and robustness. The depth of his contributions demonstrated strong skills in digital logic design, finite state machine development, and hardware description languages.
