WORK EXPERIENCE

Omni Control Technology Whitinsville, MA

Electrical Engineer Winter 2023-Summer 2025

Extracted information from a ERP database of 34,000 parts and reduced it to 7,000 items through Python automation and Excel, significantly enhancing database efficiency.

Accurately plot drill holes onto electrical panels for the Perforex Milling Terminal using AutoCAD and presented the mechanical panel assembly in a 3D view using EPlan.

Automated the completion of bills of materials using Tesseract OCR library and software as well as Python, reducing the time between new product meetings and purchase orders, thereby accelerating the procurement process.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Secure OTA Firmware Update System Using BLE

Developed a secure OTA update pipeline using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and integrated SEMECS digital signatures with public key stored in eFuse, ensuring cryptographic firmware verification and rollback prevention.

Engineered a layered architecture using encrypted firmware delivery, signature validation, and secure boot enforcement, demonstrating resilience against signature tampering, man-in-the-middle injection, and rollback attacks.

Senior Design Project: Telegraph

Product Design & System Communication Lead

Designed a Bluetooth-enabled boxing glove system to predict punch types (e.g., jab, cross, uppercut) with 99% accuracy using a Random Forest machine learning model.

Developed IMU-based sensor integration and ergonomic hardware design with ESP32S3 microcontroller and 3D-printed case for seamless glove fit.

Implemented real-time data transmission via Bluetooth 5.0 and delivered punch metrics (e.g., type, velocity, G-force) to an app, with post-session analytics for punch path and fatigue.

Analysis of Zero Trust Architecture Models: Experimental and Theoretical Perspectives

Conducted a comprehensive analysis of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) by comparing three key models: Agent Gateway, Agentless Gateway, and On-Device Agent, using both experimental simulations and theoretical frameworks.

Implemented simulations using Python, Redis, and Flask to evaluate the performance of ZTA models, including latency, resource usage, and scalability under varying traffic conditions.

Developed a comparative analysis between experimental results and literature, highlighting strengths and weaknesses of each model, and offering actionable recommendations for selecting the appropriate ZTA model based on specific organizational needs.
