EXPERIENCE
Randy’s Laser Service, Sacramento CA
June 2015 – December 2017
This seasonal internship included HV circuit card troubleshooting, optics adjustment, vacuum tube evaluation, and assessing various issues with Bystronic CNC lasers. Campbell Soup, Sacramento CA
August 2010 - June 2012
The duties and certificates includes being forklift certified, cook/heavy machine operator, damage control, inventory evaluation, and electronic cabinet Lock Out/Tag Out. Peak Manufacturing, Sacramento CA
December 2009 - August 2010
The daily operator duties included machines such as a laser, shear, press break, mill, forklift, tractor, and scissor lift. The skills needed was independent sheet metal fabrication, installing and leveling heavy machinery, and preventative maintenance. PROJECTS
Slug Satellite, Santa Cruz Senior Design
My responsibility on the power team is to integrate a battery, protection/fault circuitry, charge regulators, temperature sensors, and central heater into the energy storage unit of a 2U Cube Satellite. Along with overlooking and assisting with the power generation, max power point tracking, and power distribution.
AM Receiver, Santa Cruz RF Design
The final project consisted of a functioning AM receiver that includes a loopstick antenna, preselection filter, mixer with a local oscillator, image filtering, demodulator, and amplification where necessary. The final product was a modular design that was printed on four PCB boards and broadcasted at a local AM station. Boost Converter, Santa Cruz Power Electronics
This boost converter was first simulated and then built on a PCB board with the duty cycle of the MOSFET being controlled by a PWM signal from an Arduino. Throughout the simulation and design each component was independently calculated and selected. 1794 River Run Drive
