As a graduating engineer, I plan to move forward from my degree into a rewarding career that develops me as a professional. I will use my Bachelor’s of Science in Robotics Engineering and Mechanical Engineering to build technology that helps people and improves the world. Simply put, I am passionate about robotics. I provide a strong background in both the hardware and software sides of robotic systems, including software engineering, systems engineering, embedded system design and implementation, and electromechanical controls. My diverse areas of study give me a versatile skill set, and I enjoy developing them by solving challenging or complex problems. I am especially adept with systems that incorporate diverse component, process, and energy domains. Recently, I have been working on my Major Qualifying Project: the design and implementation of a Cloud platform for the DARPA Robotics Challenge. Before that, I worked at WPI’s Autonomous Robotic Collaboration lab, where I worked with a graduate student to develop and implement a first-of-its-kind test platform for deformable object manipulation. ● Areas of Study: industrial robotics, industrial automation, process automation, robotic manipulation, robotics, robotic systems, robotic navigation, robot kinematics, digital logic, control of electromechanical systems, embedded systems, Computer Aided Design, Computer Aided Manufacturing, Cloud computing, AWS cloud platform and boto, RESTful APIs, Java programming, JSON, Python programming, C/C++ Programming, technical writing, mixed methods research, Agile development
