I had the pleasure of working with Faizan as part of BRL HEARTS. Faizan was responsible for low-level programming and worked with embedded software for our Quadrapedal BONES. Throughout our time working together, I found Faizan to be hardworking, persistent, and curious. He consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic and a dedication to success. His efforts have produced high-quality results time and time again. I highly recommend Faizan for any future endeavors.
I highly value Faizan for being so easy to work with, and he is what I would describe as 'hardware responsible'. Its refreshing having his keeness to tackle new projects challenges, and the keeness is balanced with diligence. I recommend a mixed physical hardware and software role to make full use of Faizan's skills.
Faizan demonstrated his skills in mechanical design, 3D modelling, electronics and coding. Based on my brief, he conceived a 'grabber claw' mechanism, designing a CAD model to integrate it with existing components, along with a powered turntable mounting. He delivered this model and began on 3D printed prototype fabrication, accompanied with working Arduino code to allow remote control of the arm by my existing control system. Faizan clearly has a strong skillset across these design areas and great potential for the future. Thanks to Faizan for all his inputs.
