Created interfaces and drivers for avionic cockpit hardware used by the ForeFlight iPad application. Guided meetings between several third-party hardware and software vendors to create a single compatible API, which reduced ForeFlight labor constraints. Created a standard procedure for which new vendors could easily adapt hardware and software to work for ForeFlight framework. Identified and fixed several outstanding bugs found in previous hardware drivers. Educated software developers on data modeling and simple machine learning, and then implemented a quadratic regression algorithm which reduced overall compute costs in the application.

Led, Proposed, and implemented two engineering projects, one of which was a high reliability autonomous robot used to test system tracking accuracy. Debugged, developed, and tested software and hardware for the newly created precision guided system using a combination of Matlab and C/C++. Development projects included tweaking computer vision tracking algorithms, maintaining the custom embedded Linux kernel, modification of hardware drivers, and adding additional features to the iOS applications. A full time position was offered following graduation.

Created a dependable Automatic Build Verification Process for the iOS Sametime software suite. Guided fellow intern to complete a compatible Android counterpart. Met project guidelines of creating a testing framework that was both expendable and had tests that were intuitive to developers and testers. IBM extended the internship after the project was complete and moved me on the development team to work on the iOS Sametime application.

Created the curriculum and devices required for teaching a single lab unit on a spring-mass-damper system. The prototype boards were created using National Instruments PCB designing software, while content was created using LabView. Assisted with the levitation lab unit used to teach closed-loop feedback theory.

Managed a team of two developers that helped Create a basic prototype site and machine learning algorithm to predict spending habits and to reduce prodigal spending by financially educating users. This system was built on JRuby on Rails, MySql, and JMLR while connecting with the Yodlee API to gather the user's financial data.

Developed software in a test driven, agile environment using C#, ASP .NET and MSSQL in a MVC framework to deliver custom solutions to clients. Maintained and upgraded a large repository of legacy PHP code alongside a team of developers. Organized and helped create RW3’s first iOS core product, which became a large portion of their business revenue.

Conducted research and development of the custom software GNSS receiver built in collaboration with Cornell University. Created a multithreaded Java application used to monitor and control several receivers, which was later incorporated into the curriculum of a GPS course offered at Cornell University. Designed and built custom PCBs for the use on an Antarctic deployment and for a small satellite mission. Completed a graduate course on signal processing and GPS navigation.
