I work on communication and control systems for drones used for a variety of projects, including autonomous mapping and pathfinding, hyperspectral imaging, custom payload delivery, and object tracking:Custom build drones carrying varying payloads, including modeling and 3D printing of parts to ensure reliability and neatness.Configured ESCs to communicate via an NVIDIA Jetson TX2 to control the ESCs through a CAN network.Verified mapping algorithms and used georeferenced image stitching to create orthomosaic hyperspectral images to estimate plant health within large fields.Used oscillators and active filtering to detect and locate very low power IR emitters within a noisy environment.

Set up and managed resource pools to ensure effective use of CPUs, memory, and storage by virtual machines and services.Configured servers as needed for services such as NAT, VPNs, and FTP.Set up routers, switches, firewalls, and VLANs to enable communications between servers and other devices.Used Spirent N4U to test network for throughput and firewall traffic rules.

Assisted in the planning, construction, testing, and logistics of server racks.Reviewed technical data packages (TDPs), ensuring information and specifications were correct and updated.Completed QA checks and physical configuration audits (PCAs).Ran power quality tests on UPSs and diagnosed issues with UPSs which were not up to standards.Tested prototype rack configurations for electromagnetic emittance and susceptibility.Completed vibrational tests on prototype network racks.
