As a systems engineer, I supported advanced process control applications in the Baton Rouge refinery, including alarm management, real-time optimization, and blend management. I also provided after-hours on-call support for all components of the process control environment.Accomplishments:♦ Upgraded hardware, operating systems, and software on dozens of servers to improve system performance♦ Deployed new servers and applications♦ Configured application settings and user permissions♦ Applied security patches and upgrades to online systems♦ Developed improved documentation for control systems architecture and data flow♦ Recruited and evaluated new engineers at on-campus career fair

♦ Taught course topics in recitation, office hours, and online Q&A forum♦ Created and graded homework assignments♦ Networking I (CS 3251), August 2015-May 2016: topics included error recovery, medium access, routing, flow control, and transport♦ Computer Organization and Programming (CS 2110), January 2013-May 2015: topics included transistors, digital logic, Von Neumann model, microprocessors, general assembly programming, recursion and program stack in assembly, general C programming, GBA programming in C, and dynamic memory

During my internship with Cisco, I worked in the Connected Devices Business Unit (since acquired by Technicolor) to design and develop software for home cable gateways on top of Broadcom firmware.Accomplishments:♦ Designed new pages for cable gateway configuration website using HTML, CSS, and jQuery with the Bootstrap framework♦ Identified disadvantages of existing parental control implementations and took the initiative to develop a new method which incorporated both device-based and user-based controls♦ Coordinated with international team to implement changes to the cable gateway software♦ Ensured compliance with Level AA Accessibility Requirements using SOATest and JAWS screen reader

At EA, I worked as a software engineer on the "NBA Live 15" Gameplay Team. I helped develop both the code for the game itself, and the code for the tools used to design the game. Feedback from playtesters and critics praised several of the features I had created, such as the reduced repetition of animations.Accomplishments:♦ Designed a thread-safe feature to query databases for unused assets, preventing repeated animations and resulting in a noticeable increase in variety and user satisfaction♦ Created several batch processing programs in C# to automate the design process and generate asset data♦ Modified non-player-character game AI so that it would respond more realistically to gameplay scenarios♦ Found and corrected several bugs during alpha development

For my co-op, I worked at the Food Processing Technology Division of GTRI. This lab researches ways to apply technology, particularly robotics, to food industries. I developed software, gathered and analyzed data, and brainstormed new ideas. I worked on projects such as robots to debone chicken or to search for insects on crops, and an audio monitoring system that detected health conditions in chicken houses.Accomplishments:♦ Designed software architecture for a robotic poultry deboning system♦ Implemented robotic control logic in C++, and designed a GUI using Microsoft Foundation Classes♦ Developed a method for robotic system calibration using OpenCV image library and Eigen matrix library♦ Created multi-threaded camera recording system to capture motion data from human expert using Boost C++ libraries and OpenCV, implemented an analysis program for recorded data using MATLAB and C++♦ Demonstrated the robotic deboning system to potential development partners♦ Built a low-cost, 3-D printed robotic system for performing crop inspection♦ Implemented pose-based visual servoing on the low-cost robot arm using C++ and OpenCV libraries♦ Tested motor behavior and developed a method to compensate for static friction and torque effects♦ Reviewed resumes of candidates for graduate research assistant position
