Point Lighting Bloomfield, CT

•

Electrical Engineer Sept. 2010 – Jan 2011

Worked on a small Engineering team making obstruction lights and heliport lights. Duties included CAD

work, circuit troubleshooting, embedded systems design and coding (Microchip PIC family), LED

characterization, optics design, and product documentation.

World’s First Bitcoin Roadtrip from Hartford, CT to Los Angeles, CA

•

Bitcoin Evangelist April 2011 – June 2011

Drove from Hartford, CT to Los Angeles, CA spending only a novel internet currency called “Bitcoin,” as a

Selected Projects

WRUC Studio Rebuild Union College

•

Project Manager Spring 2010

Oversaw the renovation of a recording studio at Union College. Designed and sketched the new floor plan.

Purchased equipment while remaining under budget. Delegated tasks to colleagues. Integrated audiovisual

and computer systems.

CAN-Networked Strobe System Bloomfield, CT

•

Point Lighting project Sept. 2010 – Jan. 2011

Ported QBASIC code to C for a CAN network. Tested and debugged in hardware. The application was

obstruction lights at the top of a tower that must communicate with a controller at the bottom. Both nodes

use PIC controllers.

Multiple-Threshhold Light-Sensitive Relay Bloomfield, CT

•

Point Lighting project Jan. 2011

Designed* a circuit to switch brightness levels of obstruction lights based on ambient light conditions. By

using a microcontroller and a light-to-digital IC instead of a cadmium photocell, the design was smaller,

more power efficient, and more accurate than Point Lighting’s previous solution.

*N.B. I was laid off from Point as this design was being prototyped
