Vireo interfaces develops high-performance input devices for interacting with immersive virtual realities. Our mission is to unlock the potential of head-mounted displays for productive work.

✪ Designed, implemented, and evaluated body-scale force-feedback systems for immersive computing• Engineered mechanical hardware, electrical hardware, and software for robotic device prototypes• Conducted technical evaluations, user studies, and usability evaluations of the prototypes• Wrote and published papers to the ACM CHI and UIST conferences - the top venues in the HCI field• Transferred into the Computer Science department, achieving a 4.0 GPA across all 3rd year undergraduate admission courses as well as graduate-level program requirement courses

• Taught principles of operating systems and C, C++, and python programming• Prepared and delivered lessons to undergraduate students• Generated practice exercises to accommodate a range of skill levels• Proactively sought out students needing one-on-one help• Fairly and efficiently graded assignments

✪ Developed and fixed software in C#, SQL, and VB as part of a scrum team• Worked as part of a scrum team ↳ Participated in daily standups, backlog grooming, demos, retros, and sprint planning• Collaborated with other developers both from home and in the office ↳ Used tools including GitHub and Azure DevOps• Developed for web and desktop using C# in Visual Studio• Designed and created test cases for QA ↳ Presented results clearly in technical reports ↳ Debugged and troubleshooted to find the root causes of bugs in VB, C#, and SQL• Applied database design and worked with database servers using SQL

✪ Managed R&D projects on human and technical levels✪ Performed technical tasks on projects, such as research, design, and testingBelow are some of that tasks that I performed during my Co-op placement at AGNORA:• Literature Review ↳ Read technical papers and patents extensively to determine the state of the art• Conceptual Design ↳ Applied theoretical research ↳ Proposed various design ideas• Theoretical Verification ↳ Performed calculations to predict the successful operation and strength of the design• Prototyping and Testing ↳ Created technical drawings ↳ Ordered parts from suppliers ↳ Constructed a low cost prototype ↳ Created test products using the prototype• Data Collection ↳ Designed a specialized measurement/data collection tool ↳ Took thorough measurements during testing• Data Analysis ↳ Represented the data visually for ease of explanation ↳ Critically viewed data to determine the relative success or failure of each test, and to determine what tweaks were necessary for the next test• Documentation ↳ Thoroughly documented projects with photographs and file organization

✪ Designed parts and manufacturing drawings in AutoDesk Inventor✪ Wrote scripts to automate Tasks in Excel, Inventor, and AutoCADWithin the above, I performed the following tasks at DELTA:• Created technical drawings ↳ Followed proper dimensioning standards ↳ Created drawings which were easy to read and follow ↳ Wrote scripts to make mass revisions to groups of drawings• Designed a low-cost jig to address ergonomic and safety concerns among mechanics ↳ Performed site inspections to investigate the issue ↳ Designed and built a prototype ↳ Received mechanic feedback and revised the design ↳ Balanced project management with regular production tasks• Prepared customer approval drawings in AutoCAD

• Wrote scripts to automate tasks in Excel, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD• Modified machine designs form previous jobs into standard base models• Took customer feedback and improved machine designs• Wrote technical documentation describing standard products and their features• Translated technical documentation from German to English

✪ Due to the quality of work of the Excel VBA tool I developed while working at TowerScan, I have been asked repeatedly to do contract work as needs arise. Each time, I have been happy to take on the work and support TowerScan. • Learned Excel VBA from scratch to replace the company's primary data analytics tool, increasing the program capabilities and speed while reducing the file size by 10x• Included features above and beyond what was expected, such as automated importing of old-version data• Wrote clear code and thorough supporting documentation• Developed and included intuitive UI/UX elementsAs part of my other duties at TowerScan, I also had the opportunity to work with radioactive materials to perform nondestructive testing at chemical plants and refineries across the country.
