I designed and manufacturing a GPS testing fixture to evaluate Trimble's highest accuracy positioning services in a pass-to-pass test. The project had a budget of $10,000 and was successfully completed under budget in early August. While working with another intern, I focused on the electronics and control systems of the testing fixture while also.

B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with graduation in May of 2019. M.S in Robotics and Intelligent Systems with graduation in December 2019.

I am developing a LabView test stand using the cRio hardware to control a fuel cell. Various equipment such as mass flow controllers, temperature probes, a load cell, water pumps, and pressure regulators are used to evaluate the performance of the 1kW cell. My research is under Dr. Sullivan.

I implemented automated testing for video recievers at Iftron Technologies using LabView. Both electronic and mechanical test equipment were interfaced to increase production speed and yields. I also designed an improved menu system in LUA, opening up new possibilities for system integration with other drone hardware. I continue to work part time on the.

At Churchill Navigation, my daily responsibilities included hardware testing and assembly for Churchill Navigation ATOM. I also was tasked with other important responsibilities with a focus in the development of their new gimbal. Specifically, I assisted with the design and fabrication of high precision optical sensor mounts as well as created a thermal.

Working part time at Delta Drone America in Boulder, CO alongside my studies at School of Mines. Responsibilities include business development and planning, importation of UAS hardware from France, designing a UAS repair and distribution office, and UAS repair. In the summer, I took on a full-time position to expand Delta Drone's network in the United.

My primary responsibilities included testing of new products as well as debugging of returned items. Testing included both prototype tests for thermal limits and RF range comparisons. I conducted assembly line testing and QC of Iftrons core products such as the ClearView Racing and Pro Video Receivers. I helped expand new products into the drone racing.

Boulder, Colorado, US

Interned at Bitsbox, where I worked on customer service. I learned how to code some basic Javascript using Bitsbox. I also worked in photoshop creating content, and towards the end of the summer started to create apps for their monthly book. I worked at the Denver Mini-Maker faire, and also the Boulder County STEAM fest. Other projects I did were setting.

Started building and test-flying fixed wing planes. Learned how to use the 3DR Pixhawk for autonomous flight. Later in the summer, started development of the Enduro quadcopter.
