Leading hardware development and integration across many areas in the Grid Communications and Controls group as well as the Power Electronics Systems Integration group. Presently working on a low-voltage power electronics testbed capable of remote integration testing of a multi-node platform. Designed and implemented a Control Hardware-In-the-Loop testbed using Opal-RT and Typhoon hardware. Continually supporting this effort as people use these hardware systems remotely from home during COVID.

Working towards a PhD in Energy Science and Engineering as a graduate fellow with the Bredesen Center for Interdisciplinary Graduate Research and Education located at the University of Tennessee: Knoxville. Current Power Electronics and Micro-Grid research is advised by Dr. Leon Tolbert and directed by Dr. Michael Starke at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

As an On-call technician, I set up performing arts events in the various venues on site at Longwood Gardens. Events can consist of a simple PA system, programming intelligent lighting, or event a full roof-build over the outdoor stage.

In the Kaleidoscope Performing Arts Center, I provided audio and visual support to the Theater and Dance department as well as rentals and other groups using the space. As a lighting designer and sound technician, I am experienced with many types of equipment. In the final year, this scope expanded to include the installation and maintenance of sound systems over the rest of campus as well.

Worked as a waiter in the pub at the country club and also worked special events such as weddings and golf outings on the weekends as a server.
