I am Akash Reddy

Computer Systems Engineering student focused on digital design (Verilog/ModelSim), embedded & edge systems (Arduino, Raspberry Pi), and performance-minded software. I build reliable, observable solutions with clear trade-offs and measurable results.

What this shows: an interactive CPU scheduling simulator comparing FCFS, SJF, and Round Robin. The Gantt timeline visualizes when each process runs, and the counters compute average wait/turnaround.

Purpose: demonstrate systems/algorithms skills—how scheduling policies affect responsiveness and throughput—and my ability to build clear, interactive tooling.
