About Me
Hi! I’m Ali
I work at Mars International Inc in Piscataway, NJ.
I Co-founded a company in June 2016 doing VR software development. After helping complete the prototype for our game Overduty VR, I left to pursue my passion for Hardware design.
I worked as an Intern at Tomorrow Lab in 2018 learning a lot about embedded systems, PCB, and Product Design.
I worked at Raytheon Missile Systems from March 2019 until June 2020. I worked at Picatinny Arsenal previously as head of Electronics Design for a certain project until Feb 2022.
I graduated with my Bachelor's in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) in May 2016. I completed my Master’s in ECE, Oct 2021.
Below you will find some Projects.
Projects
VR Gun Controller
Original Concept Design
Prototype 1
Prototype 2 - completed design
Prototype 2 - using gear system to provide haptic feedback. Custom designed housing replacing original design
PCB X0: 4 layer PCB. Biggest issues included power connector being backwards, USB impedance incorrect, wrong footprints for certain capacitor sizes. Overly expensive - Via on pad.
Prototype 3 - Completed design
PCB X1: Previous issues corrected. Improved thermal performance. Correct Impedance matching for FS USB. No need for white wiring.
This demo presents this VR gun controller working in VR. You can see the HTC vive tracker floating in space.
