Resume: Embedded & Robotics

Bachelor of Science in Electrical & Computer Engineering

• GPA: 3.86/4.00
• Coursework: 18-240 Digital Systems, 18-290 Signals & Systems, 15-122 Imperative Computation (in C)

• Replaced the $3,000 desktop controller of a 6-DOF maglev haptic device with a $300 board inside it.
• Ported the firmware off a legacy QNX real-time machine and its PCI DAQ onto an STM32H7 (ARM Cortex-M).
• Brought up an AD7606 ADC and LTC2688 DAC over SPI with DMA against a 15 µs sensor-to-actuator budget.
• Designed a 7-channel DRV8262 amplifier replacement PCB in KiCad with INA240 current sensing and 2512 shunts.
• Built a PyQt GUI over the ballbot's ROS nodes and a force-feedback teleoperation mode on the haptic device.

• Built a Node.js/React storefront with Stripe checkout for an electronics program serving 60+ students.
• Designed the kits and curricula, and handed the codebase to a student team that still maintains it.

• Built a conductor mode mapping hand gestures on camera to drum hits by screen region.
• Rewrote the instrument firmware on ESP32 Feathers and defined a platform-independent MIDI protocol.
• Added w.FL antennas to the ESP32 link for longer-range communication between instruments.

• Trained a YOLOv8n waste classifier and deployed it on a Raspberry Pi 5, built end to end in 24 hours.
• Shipped a facilities dashboard with utilization forecasts and heatmaps.

• Trained CNN plate detectors in PyTorch on 20,000+ Dubai plates to 0.96 mAP@0.5, 0.78 mAP@0.5:0.95.
• Exported to ONNX and ran at ~5 ms per 640×640 frame on a Jetson; evaluated quantization for edge use.

• Oversee $4,000+ in annual funding across 20+ robotics and engineering project teams.

• Analyzed 500+ survey responses with SEM; presented at Cambridge and published by Springer Nature.
