Worked as an undergraduate research assistant in the ARC Lab at the University of Florida developing algorithms and writing RTL as part of the genetic programming hardware team. During my time at the ARC lab, I collaborated with the lab making design decisions to support several projects for the team. I was also the lead for the RTL implementation of our enhanced "compute engine" architecture during my senior design project.

Undergraduate teaching assistant for the ECE department at the University of Florida in a variety of courses. Responsible for hosting lab sessions, grading assignments, holding office hours, proctoring exams.Courses:Reconfigurable Computing 2: Spring 2023Microprocessor Applications: Fall 2022, Fall 2021Digital Design: Spring 2022, Fall 2021Digital Logic: Spring 2021C++ Programming for Engineers: Fall 2020, Summer 2020, Spring 2020

Work in the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity Research (FICS) developing RTL-level Security Rules.

I utilized Xilinx development boards and Xilinx IP to replicate a hardware issue with Xilinx's 7-Series FPGA GTX Transceivers. I designed top level modules for the kc705 and zc706 development boards. I debugged the initial test design using the Xilinx hardware manager and Xilinx ILA and VIO debug tools. I successfully reproduced the hardware issues observed on the L3Harris proprietary boards using Xilinx IP and Xilinx hardware. I gained valuable experience with industry-standard design flow and debugging tools. I worked well within a team to communicate progress and generate solutions to roadblocks I faced while developing my test modules.

Interned at Plant Scherer in Generation. Learned the fundamentals of electricity generation at a coal-fired power plant. Visited other generation sites including Fort Valley solar field, Plant McDonough-Atkinson combined cycle, and Warner Robbins solar field. My project focused on advancing Plant Scherer's Predictive Maintenance strategy by utilizing condition-based maintenance (CBM) data. I had the opportunity to interact with on-site CBM specialists, the GPC data analytics team, and experts from the Monitoring and Diagnostic Center. Overall, I gained valuable domain knowledge as well as practice communicating with people from many different departments and areas of the company.
