Smart Gate Access System using RFID and Fingerprint Authentication

Lead Mechatronics Designer

Designed and implemented a dual-authentication smart gate system using an ATMega 2560 microcontroller. The system features a wide gate for vehicle access via RFID and a smaller side gate for pedestrians using fingerprint authentication. Managed the full hardware-software integration and performed systematic troubleshooting to resolve critical DC motor winding failures.
