Microcontroller peripheral labs
C firmware for button and timer interrupts, LED control, and PWM output. A separate lab configures an SPI master to transmit data in response to a button interrupt.
Daniel Pacheco
I’m an electrical engineer at Santee Cooper in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. I work on energy management systems, including SCADA telemetry, real-time displays, alarms, and historian data.
I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Clemson University in May 2025. My interests are in FPGA/RTL design, embedded systems, and low-level programming.
Selected projects
x86 assembly and C integration
Six labs covering registers, addressing modes, control flow, and function calls. The later labs implement recursive Fibonacci and factorial routines alongside C driver programs.
C++ command-line utilities
A menu-driven program for arithmetic, statistics, and text exercises. Individual utilities are organized into implementation and header files, with input checks in the calculation and menu code.
Experience
June 2025–present
Energy Management System Engineer · Santee Cooper
I work with telemetry, displays, alarms, and system data used in transmission operations. I use Linux, Git, scripting, and database tools for engineering maintenance, troubleshooting, and historian data workflows.
Current study
I’m studying Verilog, RTL testbenches, and FPGA implementation in Vivado using the PYNQ-Z2. My PYNQ-Z2 repository collects board documentation and learning resources.
