• Designed, developed, and managed a software system that automates recording and processing of custom GNSS transmissions

• Designed, built, and tested a ruggedized, deployable, and remotely-controllable hardware rack to run the automated recording software system

• Designed and wrote a software controller to coordinate operation of NI-VISA electronic loads and power supplies to perform accelerated aging tests on custom electronics

• Wrote and maintained a serial library for transmitting and receiving serial messages for a custom GNSS hardware receiver

• Streamlined development by configuring Gitlab CI/CD pipelines for version-controlled software including creating Dockerfiles and registering Docker images

• Managed various Linux IT-related operations, e.g. set up machines for remote SSH access, static IP assignment, user administration, etc.

• Automated post processing of radio occultation data

• Improved process reliability by incorporating detailed per-run event and error logging

• Designed and wrote a multi-threaded, datalogging, and telemetry-reporting system

• Troubleshot 5V/3.3V embedded electronics systems (based on AVR microcontrollers

like the ATmega32U4, 328P, etc.) and their software libraries

• Helped guide students/hobbyists/entrepreneurs towards workable project solutions

using various ubiquitous motion control methods (RC servos, stepper motors, brushed

DC motors, linear actuators, etc.) and their appropriate electronic controllers

• Streamlined internal processes (product testing, quality control, electronics

manufacturing, etc.) by developing in-house jigs and test fixtures using laser cutters and

3D printers (FDM)

• Designed injection-molded plastic and machined/stamped metal parts using SolidWorks,

including producing drawings and model files for manufacturing and dimension

diagrams for public use

• Routed PCBs with Altium to create carrier boards for brushed DC motor drivers

Assisted the University NanoSat team within the Command and Data Handling Subsystem:

• Routed, soldered, and tested first revision electrical components used to interface spacecraft bus and instrumentation

• Programmed, installed, and launched data logging payload aboard a helium balloon satellite (100,000ft)

Undergraduate researcher within the Institute for Computing Education:

• Conducted robotics (Tetrix, Robot C) workshops for high school teachers, students (respectively)

• Demonstrated youth robotics technology for teachers and school programs

• Worked with teachers to provide technical support and effective instructional techniques for student programs

• Developed new lesson plans, instructional manuals, and robotic builds/programs; trained other students in usage
