I was the lead developer in building a system analytics tool for the Transition flying car written in C++. Equipped with a two-tier audiovisual warning system, this tool was designed to receive, plot and log data via CANOpen and Simulink, allowing for simple analysis post-test. Booted in Linux on the Grayhill 3D70, this application was to be used by Electrical Engineers to conduct stress tests of various electromechanical configurations. Throughout project development, I collaborated with senior engineers to make informed design and implementation decisions. Additionally, I also designed a commercial-grade 12V to 5V buck converter in Altium.
