Keiane Balicanta

Electrical & Computer Engineer

I study technological solutions constantly growing my knowledge in engineering excellence.

About Me

I'm an engineer interested in microcontrollers, FPGAs, and embedded programming.

Currently, I'm a graduate student at Rowan University studying electrical and computer engineering and am expected to graduate in May 2026. I'm also an associate engineer at Atlantic City Electric where I contribute to the maintenance and testing of electric meters for the South Jersey region. I am also learning on my own time to improve my knowledge and skills with RTOS, x86 and ARM architectures, VHDL, and network/communication protocols.

Previously, I've worked on various projects across many settings including Gradio AI interfaces, web portfolios, magnetic LED arrays, and Verilog processors. Some languages that I'm proficient in include C/C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript. On the frontend for this website, I used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with the backend handled in Flask.

When I'm not on my computer or at work, you can find me at the gym, spending time with my family, playing with my dog and cat, or playing video games.

Projects

Gradio Fractional Calculus

September 2023 - May 2024

Utilized PyTorch framework with Gradio library to implement a basic UI giving users a variety of AI model customizations. This includes a dropdown of various torchvision models, adding adversarial attacks, and adjusting the batch sizes of the datasets used just to name a few adjustable parameters. Additionally, I designed a custom PyPi component by configuring the Svelte components from Gradio.

LED Chess Board

January 2023 - May 2023

Designed a PCB in Altium Designer to mimic the playing of a chess game and the specific moves each piece can make using LEDs, shift registers, and linear voltage regulators. This project was used with the MSP430 MCU along with a ESP01 for wireless connectivity.

RISC-V Verilog CPU

September 2022 - December 2022

Designed a RISC-V 32-bit computer processor using Quartus software with Verilog HDL. This project consisted of various files for the regfile, ALU, RAM, program counter, and control unit to each be testbenched indivdually, and then testbenched at the whole to do basic arithmetic such as addition.
