Education

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

• Bachelors of Science in Computer Engineering-3.182 GPA -Graduated in May 2017-CompUTC Work History

Ultimachine September 2016-May 2017

• Electronics tester at a small startup company that was comprised of ten people. The company designed and manufactured single board computers used primarily for 3-D printers. The most popular products were the RAMBo and the Mini-RAMBo.

• Was primarily in charge of testing the boards and actively developing the open source testing software. (Testing software can be seen at https://github.com/goodwinmcd/RAMBo-Uploader/tree/QC_amps_intbtldr) Created a method to keep track of all successfully tested boards and updated this number in the PostgreSQL database in real time. Created an application used by other workers to easily access this data for easier documentation and record keeping.

• Modified the testing software to use OOP approach to allow easier scalability for future products. This was done by creating a Board class that contained all functions and variables that each product shared. When a new product was created, the company only had to create a new class that inherited attributes from the Board class. This allowed the main testing software to remain untouched when implementing testing for new boards. BlueCross BlueShield June 2016-Septemper 2016

• Data Analyst Intern in Database Management Department at BlueCross BlueShield’s Southern HQ in Chattanooga, TN.

• Was introduced to various big data concepts, database management, and data analysis techniques.

• Main project was to design and create an ETL job that did a monthly report to a BlueCross BlueShield vendor. The vendor had requested specific data from the databases at BlueCross BlueShield. The actual ETL job was created using IBM’s DataStage software suite. The DataStage job was called by a Linux Korn shell script that passed the parameters to the program. A Korn shell script was also used to archive the data and send the email to the vendor. Projects

Movie Data Collection and Analysis (Can be seen at https://github.com/goodwinmcd/MovieScrapePython)

• Project to collect data from several movie sites using a web crawler. Create a set of movies in python from movie list on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, or Metacritic (i.e.-top 100 movies of 2016). The script goes through that list and scrapes data from the movies and saves them to a database. The script collects the data at >90% accuracy and the other 10% is written to a file. Twitter Data Analysis sample (Can be seen at https://github.com/goodwinmcd/twitterData)

• Used twitters live stream API to collect data in real time. Used python and word dictionary to assign sentiment values to tweets. Used those values to also assign sentiment values to words not in the dictionary. Analysis included top ten hash tags, average value of all tweets every five minutes for graphing, and filtering tweets based on certain terms. UTC Cube Satellite Research Project

• Involved in research for UTC’s cube satellite project. Was assigned with a group in charge of writing software in C so that the flight computer (an MSP430F series) could communicate with external memory storage for logging data during the flight. Drone Controller for senior project

• Worked with three other computer engineers and a mechanical engineer to design a controller for a drone. Was involved with the software and hardware team. Tools used were a Raspberry Pi, IPAC II, and Python. 4-Bit ALU Design and implementation using VHDL and an FPGA (https://github.com/goodwinmcd/ALU)

• Designed a 4-bit ALU from scratch for embedded systems class. The 4-bit ALU was then implemented using VHDL by creating half adders, multiplexers, and a logic unit. The ports of the components were mapped to each other in VHDL. The final part of the assignment was to load the VHDL code on to a FPGA and test our op code. YouTube audio ripper Bash script (https://github.com/goodwinmcd/youtube-dl-script)

• Bash script that accesses a file full of YouTube URLs. It downloads the audio from the video and converts the file to .mp3
