Nicholas Le UC San Diego Computer Science Student

hi, my name is nicholas! i'm a computer engineering student at ucsd who's into computer architecture, hardware-software co-design, and writing systems that sit close to the metal. i also spend a lot of time on the software side — building backends, ai pipelines, and the occasional web app. when i'm not coding, i like playing basketball, pickleball, going to the gym, and trying new restaurants wherever i go

J1

emnico — custom 8-bit processor

custom accumulator-based processor built in verilog for cse141l, using a 9-bit instruction format tailored to three specific programs rather than general-purpose use. designed a full datapath with a program counter, control decoder, alu, 8-register file, and carry/zero flags. the isa uses an implicit accumulator model to fit operations into 9 bits, and handles wider values by splitting them into 8-bit byte pairs across data memory.
