- Facilitated Internet of Things curriculum by helping students learn how to work with IoT - Assisted students learned web development, and video game design as necessary - Modified learning approach as needed to support individual student learning - Built relationships with and maintained supervision of students - Provided feedback to lead educators on program success and student needs daily - Tracked and communicated student progress - Relevant Projects - Personal Projects - Created a parking sensor that used green, yellow, and red LEDs to alert a driver of how - Course Projects - Embedded Systems: Microcontrollers - Came up with the game logic for a game of Tetris on an EasyMx Pro V7 for STM32 microcontroller using C - Set up working menus and gameplay using the TFT display built into the board - Created all the pieces for Tetris - Set up collision detection - Coded rotate feature for pieces - Stored high score on EEPROM memory - Hardware Programming - Used S-DES encryption algorithm to encode an 8 bit binary number with a given - Developed a program for the Arty S7 FPGA board using VHDL to generate a QR code of an 8 digit number in binary by sending the appropriate bits through - UART and copy pasting them into Microsoft Excel to form a QR code using - System on Chip - Used an Arty S7 board to create a side scrolling game - Wrote code for reading inputs from an NES controller - Used oscilloscope to verify that NES controller was working as expected - Displayed sprites and the tile map onto a monitor using a VGA adapter and given code for VGA timing - Created an IP core using the VHDL components created so that the rest of the game can be coded in C - Added character movement, enemy movement, collision detection, attacks, enemy attacks, and level handling - Junior Design - Created an ultrasonic radar using 2 Adafruit Mini microcontrollers - Used stepper motor to rotate ultrasonic sensor 180 degrees back and forth - Read data from ultrasonic sensor and displayed the data on an interface on a monitor using - Gained experience using professional hardware such as DC-DC voltage converters, optocouplers, and differential line drivers - Senior Design - Created an IoT plant monitoring system to track the health of a plant from the voltage that it - Fi board and Arduino Cloud - Set up google sheet for the Arduino board to upload to through Wi-Fi every minute. Logged the timestamp, pH level, temperature, humidity, and moisture level - Used muiltimeter to verify results - Generated a health score from 0-100 based on the variables logged - Chemical Engineering Car Competition - Designed a system that would move a small car using a DC motor and an Arduino board until an - Iodine clock reaction happens - Used multimeter and oscilloscope to verify that Arduino board was functioning correctly - Used a light sensor to detect when the reaction happened and stop the car to stay within the competition guidelines of stopping being autonomous
