• Designed an algorithm using Delta-Sigma Modulation to generate pure sinusoidal signals with digital-to-analog conversion using FPGAs• Simulated the output from the FPGA with Delta-Sigma Modulation techniques using Matlab and tested the digital-to-analog conversion low-pass filter using LTSpice to analyze signal amplitude and phase changes

Greater Boston Area

• Designed and produced a Matlab program to analyze two sets of asynchronous data collected by two separate pieces of hardware over the same period of time that filters out repeated and out-of-time-range data, models the “truth” data using the least-squares regression method, synchronizes the two data sets, and calculates the error between the “test” and “truth” data• Developed Monte Carlo simulations for stress-testing and error analysis prior to testing algorithms with collected data• Created a user-interactive Excel calculator to assist in the creation of a power system interconnect to enable the implementation of a navigational guidance system for an off-site contractor• Assisted with the development of VHDL tests of emulation hardware to determine if the hardware was reusable for maintaining functional and in-use emulator equipment, successfully testing and organizing 13 emulators for repurposing

Canton, Massachusetts

• Developed customized SQL queries and views in Microsoft SQL Server Studio that automated and streamlined the firm’s sales and financial reporting, improving the reports’ timeliness and accuracy, minimizing human intervention and error, and resulting in a reduction of over 1500 man hours annually• Developed a new business model to increase gross profit margins in the current facility and a strategy to arrive at the target margins and presented it to the company executives• Worked with CFO, identified issues with pricing and demand for the international department• Designed various pricing structures to ensure pricing is more competitive while maintaining larger profit margins• Created models of job revenue to analyze pricing for all international orders• Created a margin calculator using SQL to estimate margins of potential orders and deviation from the corporate standard• Developed and updated mathematical projection models of orders and the corresponding minimum gross profit margins for 2016 and 2017
