EXPERIENCE

The Go-2 Man, Altadena, CA [2009 - Present]

Electronic/Electrical RF Design Engineer

Accomplishments

. Currently designing/testing an upgrade for an auto alarm system, via

wireless connection. The upgrade includes the integration of a motion

detection (infrared) sensor which incorporates a Fresnel lens for

greater light captivation. The device is known as a PIR sensor

(passive infrared detection). Along with the detection device, I've

designed a transmitter, receiver and their antennas. My transmitter

that is driven by an oscillator (hex inverter-quad packaged) consists

of a 3 stage amplifier scenario. Along with my oscillator and PIR

sensor, I've designed a series of flip-flops to (simultaneously)

energize and de-energize both circuits. The flip-flops are especially

critical with the initial power up of the PIR sensor in order to

prevent false triggering. I integrate the receiver into the vehicle's

car alarm system. With any external movement detected by the PIR

sensor, within a specified radius of the vehicle, will activate the

transmitter, that will radiate or transmit a radio wave signal to the

receiver and trigger the car's existing alarm system. [2010- Present]

. My residential design and integration project of a 240/120 vac, 20

amp, 5550 watt generator at the electrical panel, was to supply

emergency backup power in the event of a disruption of VAC power from

SCE. I designed specialized cables in order to interface between the

power generator and the existing electrical panel for two specific

circuits. Although the power generator came equipped with a 20 amp

circuit breaker (for high and low power delivery) my design included

(in series) a double-pole 20 amp (fused) quick disconnect for added

protection. This design allows the owner to have power distributed to

the two designated locations (using the existing electrical panel

circuitry) eliminating the need of messy, as well as unsafe extension

cords. When the power is either reduced by 50% or even drops out

completely, the specially tailored cabling allows the owner to

interface with the generator and the electrical panel for a safe and

resourceful, alternative method of emergency power distribution. I've

made a revision to this designed for in climate changes that won't

permit the safe operation of the power generator. [2006 -5 day
