PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS Rootple

• Added a private messaging functionality to a social media Android application using Flutter SDK and Cloud Firestore.

ClickTime

• Developed a comprehensive Python program for the Wolters Kluwer organization to synchronously log all ClickTime projects to an ElasticSearch Database.

Silicon Wafer Processing

• Completed fabrication process to build 19,000 high quality electronic devices including MOSFETs, BJTs, resistors, and PN diodes on a 75mm Silicon Wafer in a clean room environment. Cast N’ Catch

• Worked in a three-man team to add features, debug, and deploy a functional phone application run on Unity which I scripted with C# and Typescript, using FireBase Real-Time-Database and Cloud Firestore, in the Visual Studio environment.

Reaction Wheel Pendulum

• Worked in a two-person, electrical engineering team to design a PID controller for a motorized pendulum to stop the pendulum at the top of its arc.

Flappy Bird

• Developed a fully functional PC game over 6 weeks with an electrical engineering lab partner.

• Implemented hardware and software modules using an Altera Cyclone IV FPGA on a DE2-115 Development Board to design and control sprite movement and regeneration, as well as screen scrolling and a scorekeeping controller.

Wallt

• Collaborated with a six-member team of engineers to design a wallet unlocked by one’s phone by integrating the engineering method to distinguish a problem and create an effective solution that would resolve the problem while remaining cost-effective and relevant.

• Developed circuitry for locking mechanism, allowing a Bluetooth signal to lock and unlock the wallet using minimal circuitry, reducing space taken up by the electronics. LEADERSHIP AND WORK EXPERIENCE Wolters Kluwer
