Developed test automation tools and infrastructure towards a fully automated Jenkins CI pipeline for testing and validation of hardware and firmware features. Wrote and executed system level tests for Powerwall and Powerpack systems.

Organized and processed large sets of eye-tracking data to help determine effects of acute aerobic exercise on occular measures of emotion processing during an emotional face perception task.

I developed a suite of test automation pipeline tools in python and applied them to create a system level product test pipeline for Tesla's energy products. This project required elegant implementation of OOP principles in python, careful consideration of complex pipeline design challenges, and clean incorporation of existing server-based services (Jira Xray as a test database and queue and Jenkins as an executor) through their restful API's.

I worked at Johns Hopkins University under NASA's RestoreL mission to adapt a DaVinci surgical robot for satellite servicing/refueling. My work involved writing a Gazebo plugin that uses Bullet's soft body functionality to better simulate cutting a soft section of the satellite.

Helped conduct research to determine initial value ranges for variables that might cause a star to die in an electron capture supernovae. We used MESA to run the star simulations and analyzed data from these simulations with programs we wrote in Python.

Developed a virtual reality graphics platform (based on the Oculus Rift DK2 and written in C++) for a saliency program running in an artificial neuron network on an FPGA.
