Successfully delivered a fully functional, microcontroller-based PCB for the StudCaddy, an assistive construction device for stud welding. Led the initial design and prototyping phases and managed the assembly and testing processes, completing the project in just four weeks to meet critical deadlines. Developed strong skills in circuit and PCB design, as well as microcontroller programming, to integrate various sensors, pneumatic devices, and RF capabilities into the PCB. Demonstrated expertise in interpreting datasheets to select suitable components, sourcing parts, and creating a Bill of Materials (BOM), achieving a 60% reduction in unit costs. Extensive hands-on experience in prototyping, using PCB design software, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams.

Successfully designed, implemented, and tested a custom C++ GPS hardware driver for Steel Eye™, an assistive construction technology for crane operators. Contributed to transitioning a Python codebase to C++, enhancing speed and efficiency of the system. Worked extensively with C++, CMake, command-line tools, Linux environments and version control to develop and maintain software systems.

Worked as a bike mechanic and salesman. I can troubleshoot and repair bicycles, assemble bicycles for retail sale, and manage customer service.
