Background

 * B.S. in Computer Engineering, University of Illinois at Chicago, 4.0/4.0
 * 1.5 Years experience as a Math/ Physics tutor.
 * Currently doing an Electronics Software Engineering internship with Woodward Aerospace.
 * Built the control board for a Medical Vacuum treatment device that is currently used in Uganda.

Skills
Most of my hands-on experience is in electronics hardware development. I designed, prototyped, tested, and built a control circuit consisting of linear regulators, comparators, solid state relays and pressure sensors. This circuit was used to power an electric pump to get a chamber to a specific pressure and then use feedback from the sensor to turn the pump back on whenever the pressure in the chamber dropped below a certain threshold.

For my tutoring job I hold drop in tutoring sessions at a local community college where students can come in with any questions pertaining to the first four semesters of calc-based physics (Mechanics, E&M, Quantum and Thermal). I also do one on one sessions for other courses such as Diffy Q, Digital Logic, C++, Dynamics, Strength of Materials, etc.

At my internship I develop and run Python scripts to test control boards for Airplanes. This is to ensure that the microprocessors cannot possibly get into a defective state as safety is the number 1 priority in the Aerospace industry.

Affiliations / Responsibilities
I am currently the Hardware Group Lead
