- Researched under the NSF-LSAMP program.- Utilized a PIC18F Microcontroller to control a five-input, one-output JDS FITEL Fiber Optical Switch, controlled manually via a dial or automatically from a computer via RS-232.- Developed and tested single-mode, multi-mode, single-mode (SMS) modal interferometer fiber optic sensors to simultaneously measure temperature and strain.- Utilized NI Labview to capture interference waves on the Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA). Analyzed peak wavelengths with Igor Pro based on temperature or stress, applying a matrix model in Python to measure both values simultaneously.- Built optical testing stations using Thorlabs equipment to ensure accurate test results in a controlled temperature environment with minimal slippage.

- Established and managed a computer sales and service business, generating $8000-$12000 in annual revenue from August 2018 - August 2022.- Sourced and purchased computer components, peripherals, and software from distributors and online retailers.- Built and maintained relationships with vendors and distributors to negotiate favorable pricing and terms.- Built custom computer systems to customer specifications, providing post-sale support and service.- Developed and executed product marketing strategies, including packaging and delivery logistics, resulting in increased sales and revenue growth.- Maintained detailed records of inventory, sales, and expenses in Microsoft Excel

- Presented Banshee UAV’s Autonomous Robotics Ground System at 103rd Transportation Research Board in Washington DC.-Discussed with attendees and industry representatives regarding the feasibility of an automatic battery swapping system for drones in real world applications.- Attended presentations and conferences regarding applications and affects of autonomous systems such as UAVs

-Kept track of inventory across seven teams, including three separate lockers. While communicating with team leads regarding what needs to be bought/replaced on a monthly basis.- Formulated total budget sheets based on missing inventory and new supplies/equipment requested by team leads. After the items were purchased, recipes were stored and tracked via Excel sheets.- Created risk waterfall diagrams to optimize workflow regarding the order of the operation so tasks are completed on time.- Kept track and communicated with four assistants regarding the tasks stated above. This is done by weekly meetings and progress checks on the work I've assigned.

- Worked with Intel Realsense D435i Depth Camera to accurately detect distances and enable the system to operate at both nighttime and bad weather conditions by utilizing its IR Camera.- Implemented a robotic arm on the specialized pod to locate, grab, and release batteries from either drones or battery charging stations.- Utilized a specialized pod to move along an I‑Beam to transport Lithium Polymer batteries autonomously back and forth from drones to battery charging stations.

- Expertise in developing and implementing test plans for solar panel systems, including functional testing, performance testing, and safety testing.- Demonstrated ability to develop accurate and detailed power diagrams for solar panel systems, ensuring optimal performance and safety.- Demonstrated ability to perform accurate and comprehensive circuit testing using Load Testers, ensuring proper function and reliability.- Skilled in the documentation of setup procedures for solar panel installations, including equipment and component installation, wiring, and testing.

- Supported fundraising initiatives by developing outreach strategies, identifying potential funding sources, and securing financial support from corporate partners.- Organized and facilitated workshop logistics, ensuring all necessary resources were in place for successful execution.- Provided open communication with both the College of Engineering and Associated Students Incorporated (ASI) regarding monetary concerns and promotion of the club to others.

- Utilized the Robotis OpenManipulatorX robotic arm for autonomous sorting task- Specialized in Computer Vision to detect both AR Markers and Objects with X and Y coordinates.- Managed a team of 12 interns by keeping track of their task via progress logs and weekly in person and zoom meetings.- Communicated with professor advisor and industry representatives regarding the tasks and goal on hand.
