• Diverse group of open-minded engineering students who are passionate about designing, building, and programming robots.• The objective of the club is to build a rover to compete in the 2023 Canadian International Rover Challenge (CIRC).• Developed code to add functionality for sending rover arm commands between the base station and the rover using the ROS framework (C++, Python), and the Flask framework (Python).

• Worked on a software development team responsible for building and programming Dexcent’s Integradex application, which was developed to optimize HMI management and provide standardization/consistency in HMI displays throughout multiple environments. • Developed a TypeScript file that enabled collision handling and detection functionality for the product to meet the specifications detailed by API RP 1165 recommended practice for Pipeline SCADA Displays. This feature successfully used a collision handling detection algorithm to identify overlapping symbol pixels within HMI displays, update the data tables in the PostgreSQL database, and display this information effectively in the UI to communicate collision errors to all operators. • Used p5.js to create a visualization rendering feature that highlights detected collisions on a display with a flashing gradient alert to notify operators of collision errors. • Developed a dashboard component in the UI to provide a high-level overview of system data, which detailed display states (i.e. development, production, QA testing), display state changes, and effective data visualizations.

• Worked with various teams of Project Managers and Superintendents as a member of the PCL Edmonton Buildings Special Projects Division to provide support in the Strathcona Curling Rink Upgrades Project, Evansdale Homes for Heroes/Water Infrastructure Project, and the AHS Rural Edmonton Connect Care Upgrades Project. • Managed document control and quantity tracking, ordered correct site furnishings, and communicated with consultants and client.• Developed leadership skills by taking initiative, for example speaking up in client meetings and representing PCL in decision meetings.• Enhanced communication skills by working with numerous trades, consultants, and the client. Also improved written communication skills by writing RFIs and submittals.

• Worked on the Integradex Product Development Team to assist in the development of Dexcent's HMI management tool; the Integradex application. • Developed functional automated testing software for the Integradex codebase to test the functionality of the back-end API calls whenever an update is made to the project using the Python Pytest Framework. • Created a multibranch pipeline project using Jenkins for the Integradex development repositories to build, test and deploy the application.• Developed the communications feature within the application that allows operators to track updates and communicate changes to displays to other users.
