• Worked with team to design the avionics architecture for the Dynetics Human Landing System, which will land astronauts on the moon in 2024. • Researched opportunities to leverage space processing platforms for AI/ML acceleration. Worked with team to write a proposal for a broad agency announcement.• Scrum Master for multi-discipline agile scrum team working to design next generation reconfigurable processing module for space applications. Ported wideband transmitter design targeting 3GSps DAC onto PolarFire and Kintex Ultrascale FPGA development kits. • Maintained ground support equipment (GSE) hardware and software for video processing. The software user interface was designed using Java and C++, running on a Linux operating system. Updated software to support different video resolutions. Trained customers on use of GSE.• Involved in system design of a pan/tilt gimbal for an IR camera platform targeting Counter-UAS missions. Gave input to team implementing detection, tracking and identification algorithms. Demonstrated UAS detection and tracking using precision acoustic panels.• Trained others in the Design Thinking process and Innovation Sprints. Facilitated innovation sprints and other innovation activities.• Led the VHDL verification for an FPGA design that processes GPS receiver messages and transmits location data and telemetry. Built a System Verilog model of the GPS receiver. Performed GPS receiver performance analysis using a Spirint GPS simulator. Worked with a team to develop a LabView GUI that would process the GPS receiver position and velocity data to measure receiver accuracy and performance.

• Involved in FPGA design and verification for space camera system that contains visible and infrared focal planes. Led FPGA verification effort and design of IR ROIC interface. Led design of ground support test equipment hardware and software utilizing VHDL for FPGAs, C# for GUI and LabVIEW for image analysis software. Added ability to execute python scripts for controlling camera modes and performing image captures.• Mentored others in System Verilog and UVM for VHDL verification.• Led small team to verify FPGAs used in a space communication system per the NPR 7150.2A specification. Utilized the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) for creating FPGA test bench environments. Created re-useable verification IP and used third-party IP to verify PCI, Ethernet, SRAM, MIL-STD-1553, SPI, and UART interfaces as well as AES Encryption and Forward Error Correction (FEC) algorithms. Worked with team to develop Python environment for flight software verification.

• Helped create an FPGA development process.• Worked with a team to design FPGAs for safe and arm devices, ignition safety devices, flight termination systems, and a six degree of freedom positional sensor.• Developed System Verilog environments for verification of FPGA designs.

• Worked with a team to develop a complex System Verilog verification environment to certify a million gate DO-254 Level A ASIC design. • Developed System Verilog verification environments for small to medium sized FPGA designs.• Worked on small and medium sized FPGAs used on cockpit displays.

• Responsible for student and faculty laptops• Worked as a team with other students

• Implemented and tested firmware for a USB to IDE controller.• Performed various optimizations in C and assembly code.• Wrote C code to combine two file systems used on printers.
