PROJECT EXPERIENCE
 Digital Safe Circuit - Built a logic circuit representative of a programable hotel safe and
demonstrated on an FPGA (cyclone IV)
 Rover AI Simulation - Completed a mars rover AI simulation using an iRobot equipped
with a Tiva-C Series LaunchPad. Languages of C and Java as well as WIFI UART were
used.

is essentially a geographical based alarm app. “Spring” Framework was used as well as
SQL database to store user data on a server. My biggest specific contribution creating
 the background running services within the android app itself to sound alarms
accordingly.
 Automatic Skeet Scoring system (in progress) – Using an HD camera and Nvidia
Jetson tx2 board we create a data collection engine and data flow pipeline to train a
vison centric neural network (YOLO: you only look once) how to recognize broken clay
pigeons from video recorded and processed by our board.
