Project Redshift: Participating in Dollar Per Foot Challenge (Rocketry)- Wrote C drivers for environmental sensors, flash, motors, and ADCs on ST MCU- Developed hardware-in-the-loop flight simulation, feeding pre-recorded flight sensor data over USB- Programmed custom data logging file system and embedded command line interface- Designed and implemented.

North Reading, MA, US

- Designed object-oriented Python for automated testing of camera streaming and V4L2 controls- Developed Linux scripts in C to generate and verify test patterns from cameras and GMSL serializers- Implemented commands in Linux driver and researched IMU for custom stereo camera- Installed Docker on bare-bones Linux image, debugging kernel configs, filesystem.

Cambridge, MA, US

- Led microcontroller firmware development of board controlling parafoil deployment- Set up Python and embedded C++ development environments with Docker deployment capability- Wrote Python app to replace hand calculations for parachute ballistics analysis- Designed heuristics and predictive algorithms for flight planning tools and safety features.

Waltham, MA, US

- Led C-based firmware development for flash, sensors, and Iridium satellite modems on ST MCU- Designed then implemented layered system hierarchy with FreeRTOS threads and task queues- Restructured code to maximize software commonality between autonomous maritime vehicles- Wrote software sections of formal project progress reports and SBIR proposals.

Lead Programmer (2018), Programmer (2016-2017), Control Mentor (2019)- Wrote command-based Java code for PID loops, motion profiling, and autonomous routines- Wrote C++ code for vision processing and designed vision feedback algorithms in JavaHead Scout (2016), Scouting Mentor (2019)- Designed algorithms for data analysis and automatic opponent rankings at.
