We built a fully automated robot to navigate unknown environments. The robot was purpose built to compete in the NASA Sample Return Robot Challenge. We competed three years in a row and in that time I had the privilege to work on a number of different systems such as path planning, vision, high level planning, and low level controls. Additionally, as one of the older and more senior team members I filled a leadership role, where I got to mentor and manage a number of students, which due to the members being volunteers was unlike my previous management experience.

Designed, programmed and project managed new and old control systems for automated machines and process plants. Project management included: Customer design reviews, installation, service, and team management.

In my basement, after work, I developed the software for a RC plane project (the ForceFly). I found this work so rewarding that I got inspired to apply for graduate school.

Manage industrial control panel builds.

Designed and project managed the new automated machines for the automotive industry.

Worked with 3D CAD and operated machines on a diverse set of materials: CNCs, lathes, and mills.
