I am designing, training, and deploying neural networks on an new low-cost instrument to diagnose malaria. Specifically, a object detection network responsible for the diagnosis, and an "autofocus" network to keep the instrument's microscope in focus. Along with this, I contribute to software controlling the instrument.

• Owned the Biohub's reprogramming project of the Opentrons OT-2, an open-source pipetting robot

• Doubled the speed of certain frequent operations (e.g. picking up / dropping pipette tips)

• Reduced codebase size by ~ 75% while maintaining previous functionality, simplifying code for future maintenance / development

• Designed and implemented architecture of robot / software so any software-controlled instrument can be used during protocols (e.g. cameras, GPUs, thermocyclers)

• Designed and implemented tests to measure the accuracy of the OT-2 using cross-correlation techniques, accurate to the µm range over the robot's movement range of 1 meter

Wildlife Computers is the leading provider of advanced wildlife telemetry solutions.

• Wrote C++ firmware to test new PCB's that arrive from fabrication. It quickly tests for the correct placement of components which allows for fast identification of faulty boards.

• Designed and created a digital isolator PCB to isolate the company's hardware from measurement devices, allowing for low-noise and accurate voltage measurements.

• Redesigned assembly fixtures for the product assemblers; from the redesign and extensive consultation with the assemblers, the new assembly fixtures are easier to use and produce consistent builds

• Created software to simultaneously test the properties of multiple batteries using an array of battery testers; designed to be highly reliable, robust, and accurate.

• Wrote highly efficient post-processing software for a Joulescope (high precision DC energy analyzer). Wrote fast code to calculate the Cumulative Distribution Function, Histogram, and "Max Window" of a set of data. See http://github.com/jetperch/pyjoulescope_ui/
