Palo Alto, California, United States

• Developed backup interface system for safety-critical functions within vehicle displays, requiring extensive development of system control, failure detection, image processing, and hardware/software integration, and functional testing capabilities.• Wrote flash protocol, corruption detection, and bootup failure detection software for factory production of chip. Successfully deployed to factories.• Developed and tested removal of expensive PCB component in display hardware design through software optimizations.• Enhanced leadership skills by leading reviews with supplier regarding the backup system hardware, presenting biweekly to display team, creating insightful demos, and delivering projects on accelerated schedules.

Madison, Wisconsin, United States

• Writing applications to examine the accuracy of simulated lidar and camera sensors and their effect on localization and odometry algorithms for autonomous vehicles. • Automating vehicle experiments to ensure reproducibility of findings by using C++, ROS 2, Docker, and Linux scripting.

Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States

• Wrote code for banking transaction summary reporting using Spring Boot Framework as part of a larger multi-tiered distributed corporate-banking information reporting system.• Automated the integration and functional tests of the API to ensure the microservice meets design specifications and remains secure and operational 24/7.• Set up CI/CD deployment, using Jenkins, SonarQube, Junit, and other quality-assurance systems.

Cape Canaveral, Florida, United States

• Wrote safety-critical aerospace software to monitor the Fault Detection and Recovery system within the Launch Command and Control System of NASA’s manned SLS launch vehicle for the Artemis program, helping meet development deadlines, prevent launch delay, and increase safety of the mission.• Designed and automated a simulation platform for testing fault detection, drastically shortening the developmental feedback loop and increasing the probability of meeting intended launch dates for NASA’s Artemis program.• Programmed redundancy and automation into launch control software to increase safety during volatile space launch scenarios.

Madison, Wisconsin, United States

• Collaborating with a team to develop and demonstrate an autonomous vehicle that cannavigate urban driving courses to compete in the AutoDrive Challenge II• Observing the development, testing and integration of teammates’ projects to together meetthe deadlines of the competition and create a working technology stack• Programmed real-time lane line segmentation software in Python and C++ for an autonomous Chevy Bolt.• Used computer-vision techniques to detect lane lines with 98% accuracy while adhering to computational constraints.

Eden Prairie, Minnesota, United States

• Designed a secure automated data migration application which resulted in direct yearly database cost reduction of $90,000 and 4-times faster data migration compared to the previous application in production. • Programmed application to automatically provision, configure, and integrate message queues, cloud services, database APIs, and SQL databases to securely migrate data between on-premise and cloud databases, using only outbound HTTPS connections.• Automated the maintenance and CI/CD deployment of the application using Maven, Terraform, and Jenkins.

University Of Wisconsin-Madison

• Learned about battery management, high voltage system and integration in an electric vehicle• Gained skills (Altium, I2C, Oscilloscope) to debug, test and improve the car’s embedded systems.• Fixed a malfunctioning I2C data bus by debugging a PCB’s C code, restoring the car’s embedded communication system.

Bloomington, Minnesota, United States

• Performed defect analysis on recording heads, a high-tech microscopic electrical part in hard drives, by using metrology data and semiconductor manufacturing tools to correctly diagnose defects and deliver correction orders on 1000+ non-conforming wafers. • Lowered the cost and time involved in the manufacturing process by maintaining a high-yield manufacture of recording heads and identifying and fixing malfunctioning semiconductor manufacturing tools.• Used hardware design documents of recording heads to measure if wafers met design specifications for use in final product.

Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area

Seasonal position summers 2018 & 2019; in total over 650 hrs work experience.Collaborated with a team to complete projects during 8-12 hr days, 50 hrs/week.• Developed problem-solving skills and learned construction skills while working on residential construction and landscaping projects.• Gained experience by building a three-season porch, irrigation and drainage systems, paver driveways, retaining walls, softscape designs, etc.• Strengthened leadership skills by directing new workers, doing equipment set up/take down and ordering supplies/tools needed for project completion.
