Engineering Experience

Delta Five: Robotics Intern May 2016 - July 2016

• Designed complex power, wiring, and ground systems and built a physical model on a solderable perfboard

• Wrote a MATLAB script to predict the velocity, acceleration, and position of a robot traveling through a room

• Coded an Arduino to read voltage inputs at various locations on a hardware setup

• Manufactured large quantities of product involving IC board soldering, flashing, mechanical assembly, and testing Engineering Entrepreneurship and New Product Development Senior Design

• Created a virtual startup company around a prototype product, applied knowledge of engineering, mathematics, basic sciences, finance, and business to the design and development of an engineering product Embedded Systems

• Used a 16-bit microcontroller board with software development tools to design an embedded system for a RC car Modeling an Omnidirectional Robot

• Simulated motion of an omnidirectional robot using kinematic and dynamic equations, designed a controller to ensure the robot followed a desired trajectory and maintained required specifications, derived a transfer function for the planar robotic system

Arduino Biosensor

• Designed circuitry, wrote code, and manufactured a device frame for a wearable biosensor controlled by an Arduino as part of a semester-long project

Electrocardiogram Build
