Currently, I am working on several Li-ion battery R&D SBIR projects for the Air Force, Army, and Navy with the goal of scaling up to manufacturing. Responsibilities I have include developing battery data analysis software, test and manufacturing fixture development, project management, process improvement, and mechanical design.

Littleton, Colorado, United States

• ADA Technologies, Inc. is a small R&D company based in Littleton, CO that deals with SBIR projects related to innovative battery, electromechanical, and material technologies. As a research engineer at ADA.
• Budgeted time simultaneously between 3 projects to reach important technical milestones as specified by project Gantt charts
• Conducted systematic diagnosis of power dropout and digital I2C communication issues over several months on the anthropomorphic target with oscilloscopes and multimeters to stabilize its performance
• Modularized code by writing several Arduino (C++) and Raspberry Pi (Python) libraries to improve the organization of all code written for integrated Arduino microcontrollers and RPi SCBs
• Utilized SolidWorks as instrumental tool to design components, investigate physical constraints, and create mechanical drawings across multiple projects
• Wrote concise documentation regarding experimental data to inform and convince project stakeholders (PI, company owner, and clients) with evidence of the effectiveness of products, techniques, and sensors implemented.

Boulder, Colorado, United States

• AIM-RL is a university research lab that researches bioinspired robotics with focus on insect-inspired design as well as origami-based mechanisms. I spent my summer at AIM-RL working on the embedded systems for an.
• Led development on a 2-person team for embedded systems of a miniature treadmill aimed to analyze spider gaits
• Conducted engineering calculations using roller diameter and max desired belt speed to select an optimal DC motor
• Incorporated custom PID control on Raspberry Pi using motor encoder sensory input to control treadmill up to 1.5 m/s
• Optimized user interface using 3 push buttons and 1 LCD screen to enhance treadmill ease-of-use
• Modularized Python code via object-oriented programming to ensure code reusability, modularity, and efficiency

Boulder, Colorado, United States

• I was a TA for the Data Analysis and Statistical Methods course for the mechanical engineering department. Here are some of the things I accomplished with this role:
• Prepared and led 5 lab sessions of 40+ students with professor over one semester to improve student experience with scientific experimental setup and data collection using LabVIEW and NI USB-6008 data acquisition device
• Coordinated weekly evening office hours to offer an average of 10 students with one-on-one support regarding any problems with bi-weekly homework, lab report content and formatting, or any course concerns / feedback
• Investigated with 3 other TAs resolution between Digilent’s AD2 and NI’s USB-6008 when connected to an Adafruit accelerometer to advise professor to which DAQ to implement for future labs of future semesters
• Provided commentary on 10 lab reports every lab session to elevate students’ technical writing and formatting skills

Boulder, Colorado, United States

• HIRO is the Human Interaction and Robotics Organization led by Alessandro Roncone at CU Boulder. The laboratory focuses on human-robot interaction research. I worked on a polymer "skin" unit with embedded electronics.
• Aided 2 PhD students with development of a polymer “skin” unit embedded with proximity sensors used to enhance obstacle-avoidance behavior when implemented on 7-axis Franka robotic arm
• Analyzed intuition behind quadratic programming obstacle-avoidance controllers from 2 research papers to provide PhD students a more comprehensive mathematical explanation via a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation
• Assembled 5 custom cables between Raspberry Pi and the skin units using ribbon cables and JST connectors to enable organized cable management and simultaneous use of multiple sensor units
• Integrated ROS node to Franka software framework to graph real-time robot joint velocities and accelerations via Matplotlib
