Amazon - Hardware Development Engineer intern Fort Worth, Texas May 2024 - August 2024

● Collaborated with a vendor to engineer and deploy an Automated Defect Detection System for a Dematic SL2 sorter asset, cutting rebuild process duration by three hours and lowering labor costs.

● Analyzed traditional defect detection methods to assess operational impacts, providing data-driven recommendations to optimize costs, improve savings, and minimize error margins.

● Implemented an optimized operational procedure for the camera system, improving fault detection accuracy and maximizing performance efficiency

General Motors - Electrical & Controls Engineering Intern Bedford, IN May 2023 - August 2023

● Designed the Electrical Schematic of a Jet Cool machine, ensuring proper I/O module selection

● programmed a PLC routine and created an HMI screen for the Jet Cools, where six circuits are run simultaneously to cool the die machines

● Added all the physical components to the Jet Cool and wired the relays with the I/O point modules University of Rochester - Teaching Assistant Rochester, NY August 2024 - December 2024

● Guided students in labs on voltage drop testing, circuit analysis, debugging code for the Explorer 16/32 board with PIC32MX795F512L chip, and providing one-on-one support during office hours. PROJECTS

Air Traffic Communication Software Defined Radio Pluto SDR Sharp, ADALM-PLUTO

● Implemented a software-defined radio system using ADALM-PLUTO SDR and dipole antenna to intercept and analyze air traffic control communications in the 118-136 MHz band

● Modified SDR firmware to expand frequency range from 325 to 3800 MHz to 70 MHz to 6 GHz with increased bandwidth of 56 MHz

DC Motor Control MATLAB, C, 16/32 Explorer Board w/ PIC322MX795F512L chip, MPLAB X IDE

● Developed a DC Motor Control using 16/32 Explorer Board and PIC32MX795F512L chip, with programming in C using MPLAB X IDE software

● Integrated hardware components: a 99:1 Metal Gearmotor 25Dx54L and Dual MC33926 Motor Driver Carrier for motor control

● Implemented UART functionality for communication between the board and a MATLAB program

● Engineered Output Comparison for generating precise PWM signals to control motor timing.

● Designed an Analog-to-Digital Converter function to accurately read potentiometer values, setting digital value as duty cycle for speed control of the DC gear motor MIPS Emulator C

● Created an MIPS emulator, written in C, that could execute, fetch, decode, and execute instructions to mimic an actual MIPS processor effectively creating a miniature version of MARS Men’s Varsity Football Rochester, New York

● Play defensive end while also building leadership, time management, and communication skills National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) Rochester, New York

● Affinity group I felt important to contribute to, and to further my education in Black history
