|
| 16 | Studying systems engineering with a concentration in embedded computing. Interested in |
| 17 | embedded/electrical systems, firmware programming, data analytics. Recently |
| 18 | completed my second firmware engineering [internship](/resume) at |
| 19 | **_Milwaukee Electric Tool_** and returning for a third in 2025. Long-running |
| 20 | independent technical projects include: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 | * a [remote-controlled snow plow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOkGwRdGm9s) (self-study in mechanical, |
| 23 | computer, electrical, and power engineering). currently working on designing battery |
| 24 | charging, motor control, and peripherals into one PCBA |
| 25 | * an experiment in tiling world generation and simulation, OpenGL graphics programming |
| 26 | * a stock market autotrader (basic machine learning, GPGPU programming, software development) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 | Between hobby projects, internships, and coursework, I have experience in |
| 29 | a variety of engineering and computing disciplines and have working knowledge |
| 30 | with relevant technologies in both design and analysis/support capacities. |
