This Website is a supplement to my resume. It highlights a few of my most significant professional, team, and personal projects.
One of the most important assets for a military unit is reliable communications. That’s why the sponsor of my Capstone Design project builds military-grade communications equipment and why they tasked my team with building a tool to showcase their products. Our project was to design and build the Personal Assist Cargo Relay (PACR), an autonomous equipment carrier for use on mountain terrain. My primary responsibilities were sensor selection and software development. Despite limited funding and technical expertise, we finished a working prototype of the PACR on time.
In order to build a music stand for my midi controller (a USB piano keyboard), I:
Designed and 3D-printed a hooked bracket to attach the music stand to the controller, which featured a compliant hinge to reduce the number of printed parts.
Cut plywood sheets and assembled the stand
Designed, selected parts for, and modelled the CNC Router system in Solidworks
Analyzed key components to optimize material use and prevent failure
In order to teach an Arduino Uno board to receive signals from an IR remote, I:
Soldered and programmed an LCD screen
Wired the infrared sensor and programmed the arduino interrupt subroutine
Decoded the communication method for the infrared remote signal
Recorded signals and taught the Arduino to recognize infrared codes for a Sanyo tv remote
Designed and assembled the desk in Solidworks
Created and printed spec sheets
Constructed the desk
Designed the frame in Solidworks
Created and printed spec sheets for all parts
Ordered materials as budgeted
Constructed the bike frame using carbon fiber and salvaged aluminum parts
Coached a friend in building an identical frame
Assembled the bicycle
Still in use today
