• Worked in Simulink to generate models of rockets, general flight vehicles and robot arms
• Built custom s-functions to integrate external C++ code into Simulink and run models
• Generated C code from models with custom TLC templates in Matlab and custom targets such as, Beaglebone Black, PIC Microcontroller and RT RedHat Linux
• Developed external C++ applications to interface with Simulink models and external hardware to run HIL and PIL tests (OpenGL, OpenCL, Cuda, OpenCV, PCL … many more, Linux & Windows)
• Designed, manufactured and assembled innovate and novel flight hardware with custom PCBs and 3D printed parts
• Programed PIC microcontroller in C and assembly to interact with external sensors over SPI interface and broadcast to CAN network
• Worked on telerobotic and telepresence system with haptic feedback and complete HUD for user From October 2012 to July 2014 (1 year 10 months) Research Engineer @ • Worked with a small team of skilled engineers on SBIR projects, performing every task from writing proposals to testing and manufacturing
• Company’s expert in instrumentation using Labview with NI devices and custom PCBs with 3rd party devices
• Utilized Matlab with Simulink to develop and test control systems for magneto rheological dampers and vibration isolation systems, tested real-time operations of control systems combined with hardware and software
