Experience

Education

The Pennsylvania State University [B.S. Computer Engineering] 2019-2023

• Studied at a branch campus for two years, then finished up the core of the degree at the main campus in State College, PA. 

Projects

A few notable projects I did throughout my time at PSU. This section may be a bit long because I want to go into more detail than what it on my resume. (GitHub Profile) 

Senior Project/Capstone Project (Arduino)

My assigned capstone project consisted of improving upon a previous working prototype. The device consisted of servo motors & controllers, a power supply, and a board with a microcontroller to take care of logic. My task was to make it work wirelessly, with a battery, and update logic for the new number of motors. I was in charge of hardware research, choosing parts, circuit design, energy consumption calculations, assembling the electronics, programming, and testing. I did extensive research on electronics, components, and reading documentation to ensure compatibility with all the hardware, be it sensors, motor controllers, battery types suitable for outside applications, wireless connectivity, and database managements & device control via Amazon Web Services. The programming/testing side was all done with the Arduino programming language along with many other libraries to properly control the chosen ESP32 microcontroller. 

File System (C)

As part of our intro to OS class, we were tasked with designing the logic to take 32-bit input instructions, decode them, and perform operations upon a virtual disk that was set up. We were tasked with implementing disk mounting/unmounting, reading, writing, seeking, keeping an LRU cache, and receiving operations through the network. 

CPU Datapath Model (Verilog)

Implemented a 5-stage pipeline CPU Datapath based on the 32-bit MIPS Instruction Set Architecture. This included all the wiring of the logic & memory modules, making a testbench, decoding of the instructions loaded on to memory, proper execution and register handling, as well as instruction permissions to control the simulated hardware. 

Work Experience

Contractor [August 2023 - Present]

I am a contracted Software Test Engineer at Zebra Technologies. Using Robot Framework, Appium, and other Python modules, I have gained experience in web and Android automation, security testing, SQL databases, and file manipulation in Python for keeping logs.

Software Engineering Intern [May 2023 - August 2023]

I interned at Zebra Technologies & gained experience with Robot Framework and Appium to automate web and Android applications. I also gained valuable communication and teamwork skills. 

Attendant [May 2017 - August 2021]

As an attendant at a laundromat, I provided janitorial services as well as sales. With an average of up to 20 customers per day, I handled over $200 in sales per day. 

Other

I have been assembling & disassembling consumer electronics like phones, laptops, and desktops since 2016. I'm currently strengthening my problem-solving skills with programming languages I know, and some that I don't just so I can keep learning along the way. I have been getting into Rust by doing some small problems with strings, other data types, and structures.
