PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
I am a recent Computer Engineering graduate with over 3+ years of combined work, research and teaching experience spanning circuits, energy harvesting, both hardware and software manipulation, and robotics.
• Designed, constructed, and programmed autonomous and user-controlled robotic systems using Autodesk Inventor and Arduino
o The autonomous firefighting robot is able to navigate a maze, locate, and extinguish a candle flame using a fan
o The user-controlled quadruped mech can walk in all directions of the x-plane and shoot a customized airsoft gun
• Utilized various boards and robocontrollers, such as the Arduino Uno and ArbotiX robocontroller
• Experienced in a leadership role as a past president and team leader of the Shepherd University Robotics Club (SURoC)
• Displayed proficiency in technical writing and presentation as both a student and employee
• Contributed in team-oriented projects that required collaboration with fellow team members to meet project goals and deadlines
