Brandon Ritchie Email & Phone Number

I have been fascinated by computers since I was a little kid. I built my first computer when I was a freshmen in high school and have been upgrading it ever since. I took computer programming classes in high school and started my own exploration into Arduino. I am a curious and determined person that strives to be the best I can. My goal is to eventually design computer parts and help push forward the world of computer processing. I am currently looking for an internship for summer 2024

  Genapsys

  Jun 2021 - Sep 2021 - Redwood City, California, United States

  Genapsys is a company that specialized in DNA sequencing. I worked with the Genapsys R&D department. I was able to work on a major projects during this time.The first project was testing materials for the DNA sequencing. Bottles made from a plastic was pressurized for the DNA sequencer to work. My goal was to find what materials had the longest life cycle. In order to do this I used a HPA system, Arduino microcontroller, python, Google Sheets API, and various tubing and pressure sensors. When a bottle was compromised the pressure sensors would notice a drop in pressure. At this point it would record the cycle number and upload it to a google sheet. A pythons script and google sheets API were used together. I was able to learn more about Arduinos and APIs through this experience.
