Durham, NC

• Planned events, built community, and helped ensure the safety and well-being of residents within a freshman residence hall of approximately 80 residents.
• Helped coordinate communications between the Housekeeping, Maintenance, and Residence Life departments.
• Managed a budget for residence hall programming.

Raleigh, North Carolina

• Developed BioGears, a human physiology engine, and automated builds using the Docker containerization platform.
• Deployed BioGears server using AWS and created a predictive health monitoring application for Garmin wearable devices.

Durham, NC

• Planned weekly meetings and programming to help first-year students connect with campus stakeholders and launch their own sustainability initiatives, transforming the Eco-Reps program into a thriving, application-based.
• Managed SSL's outreach initiatives online and on Duke's campus. Projects included the design of sustainability advertisements and the creation of an online and in-print map of green spaces on and surrounding Duke's.

• Instructed students in laboratory sessions for ECE230: Intro to Microelectronic Devices and Circuits.
• Helped students troubleshoot breadboard circuits, PSpice software, and laboratory equipment.

• Collaborated with undergraduates as well as senior lab staff in advancing the development of brain-machine interfaces (BMI) and neural signal acquisition and processing.

Durham, NC

• Partnered with Bridges to Prosperity (B2P) to design and construct a suspended footbridge in Rwanda.
• Collaborated with an undergraduate team throughout the 2014-2015 academic year to design and plan the construction of the bridge.
• Calculated required material quantities and created a construction schedule prior to departure.
• Authored daily construction reports while working at a construction site in the Rwandan village of Kiluli.
• Fabricated steel parts for B2P bridges at the Integrated Polytechnic Regional Centre in Kigali.
