Developed a deep understanding and completed work on Compass Call, an SDR-based electromagnetic countermeasure system designed to control the surrounding radio spectrum. Some of my work included creating a suite of in-house tools to complete various tests with varying requirements such as network throughput, latency, and stability, allowing for repeatable and consistent testing. I also created a tool to deploy and monitor new firmware and software updates to a cluster of SDR modules in parallel, saving engineering labor and oversight by over 90% per update. I also began work on a system to collect system telemetry and health status that could be used to ensure uptime and diagnose interruptions.I, as well as other systems engineering interns, completed work on PLaRS (Personal Locator and Recovery System), a systems engineering project with an accelerated timeline. This project exercised model-based system engineering techniques and was completed from the very beginning with a customer "statement of work" and requirements, all the way to the end with integration, testing, and deployment.

At Realty World, I automated data collection and interfacing with multiple client relationship management systems as well as developed a tool to generate personalized marketing material based on client profiles.

While serving as the Electrical Director at Harker Robotics, Harker's student-run robotics team participating FIRST Robotics Competition, I was in charge of the design, reliability, and operation of the robot's controls system and ancillary electronic devices to aid in the team's operation. I ensured the reliability and capability of subsystems from the control electronics all the way to pneumatic actuators and more. I oversaw a team of around 10 members and provided technical training in a variety of skills such as soldering, system design, and electronics diagnostics. I streamlined and integrated a module-based electronics system to ensure a quick turnaround time in the event of component failure, necessary for back-to-back matches during competition events.I designed and assembled custom PCBs with a custom sensor suite along with the implementation of custom microcontroller firmware in order to oversee an array of heavy-duty robot batteries to ensure the optimal one was selected right before a match.

Oversaw and aided in the logistics of the client moving process.
