Coronado, California, US

• Served as the embedded and DSP subject matter expert for clients seeking product development services and consultation.
• Established rigorous manufacturing and development procedures to improve reliability and testing during production.
• Maintained productivity and responsibilities after a life-altering traumatic leg injury requiring multiple surgeries.

Coronado, California, US

• Leveraged the COVID supply-chain shortage to innovate on current products by replacing unavailable electrical components with more capable alternatives, enhancing device performance and features in the process.
• Developed the R5 product platform, allowing for interoperability with military third-party cameras, sensors, and drones.
• Pioneered the world’s first high-performance UGS system with 200 meter seismic detection range, an industry-leading battery life of at least 18 months, and radio communication ranges of 15 kilometers.

Coronado, California, US

• Designed, developed, and delivered the X7 WarDog Advanced Tactical Unattended Ground Sensor System for the US military.
• Redesigned a suite of legacy flagship sensors to enhance sensing and power performance while introducing modular operation with various battery types and RF communication modalities.
• Facilitated the PCB layout process and verified board hardware/software functionality throughout the board bring-up process.
• Contributed to the design of high performing DSP algorithms driven by seismic sensors and MEMS microphones, then implemented those algorithms within software while optimizing for ultra-low power performance.

Coronado, California, US

• Developed code for TI’s MSP432 MCU to evaluate its performance for future DSP and communication applications.
• Researched state-of-the-art magnetometers and developed C drivers for implementation within current products.
• Investigated Semtech’s LoRa communication protocol to facilitate ultra-low powered/IoT applications for future products.

Staufen Im Breisgau, Baden-Württemberg, DE

• Responsible for developing a new motorless, slim, and user-friendly magnetic stir plate product capable of simultaneously driving 25 smalls vials or 4 large vials up to 1500 RPMs.
• Developed code in C to drive H-bridges, capacitive touch buttons, and other peripherals in real-time with an STM32F3 MCU.
• Produced and presented a working prototype, then received approval to begin development of the next prototype iteration.

Staufen Im Breisgau, Baden-Württemberg, DE

• Verified embedded programs and analog circuit designs for ElectraSyn 2.0, the company’s electrochemistry flagship product.
• Soldered components onto prototype PCBs and performed hardware/software reliance tests while correcting errors.
• Utilized KEIL’s IDE to develop, debug, and verify application-level firmware for STM32F3 MCUs.

• Presented the spacecraft and mission designs to NASA judges, awarded $30,000 for being in the top five teams of GT-3.
• Mathematically derived and designed X-band/S-band antennas on HFSS before testing them within an anechoic chamber.
• Collaborated with a team to design and integrate all communications hardware, software, and protocols within a cube satellite.
