About Paul Wang

Hi! I am a Computer Engineer with a passion for embedded systems, FPGA design, and real-time computing. With experience in VHDL, C/C++, MATLAB, microcontrollers, and hardware-software integration, I enjoy building systems that bridge the gap between digital logic and real-world applications.My hands-on experience ranges from designing an automated greenhouse watering system for Engineers Without Borders—where I programmed a Raspberry Pi to control irrigation pumps—to developing an FPGA-based Guitar Hero game, where I optimized VHDL for efficient hardware acceleration. I\'ve also worked on sustainability initiatives, analyzing carbon footprints and devising strategies to reduce emissions at Green Places, Inc.Beyond engineering, I care deeply about sustainability, impact, and collaboration. I believe technology should not only push boundaries but also improve lives—whether through environmental initiatives, community-driven solutions, or scalable innovations. I thrive in team-oriented environments, where diverse perspectives come together to solve complex challenges. My goal is to leverage my technical expertise to create solutions that are both efficient and impactful.Let’s connect and talk about technology, sustainability, and making a difference!
