Developed firmware and device drivers for sensors and motion control for Amazon Astro

Designed and built a PCB for use on a flying vehicle to be used in package delivery

2.12: Introduction to Robotics• Developed lab exercises to teach manipulator kinematics, motion planning, control design, embedded software, and computer vision using Matlab, C++, and Arduino• Set up a system of cameras to estimate robot position and broadcast this information wirelessly to mobile robots using OpenCV in Python6.033: Computer Systems Engineering• Held office hours and assisted in seminar sessions to introduce students to techniques for controlling the complexity of computer systems: strong modularity using client-server design, virtual memory, and threads; networks; atomicity and coordination of parallel activities; recovery and reliability; privacy, security, and encryption

• Contributed to a system for controlling robots using gestures detected by electromyography• Built a demo using Matlab and C++ in which gestures control satellites with 6 degrees of freedom

• Worked with a team to develop firmware for STM32 microcontrollers for an electrical system (FlexSEA) for controlling prosthetic limbs• Designed and built a PCB for battery power monitoring and logging in robotic prosthetic limbs

• Developed firmware for equipment used in automated, large-scale installation of solar panels• Performed drive train analysis of a robotic vehicle to improve motion control• Conducted tests and created demos of potential systems for safety, communications, and video recording; assessed and reported on the feasibility of using those systems

• Developed and debugged a bicycle with onboard sensors for use by the blind

• Conducted tests to determine the effect of infrared interference from compact florescent lights on receivers used in consumer set top boxes
