I am an electrical engineer with proven hardware design experience for harsh environments on DO-160 and DO-254 programs. Key programs have been for FAR-23 and FAR-25 aircraft, with responsibilities including authoring of specification documents from higher level requirements and direct ownership of LRUs at the component level.
My designs have primarily been analog, with interfaces to digital systems (FPGA, MCU, CPU). Designs have included high power/high current solid state distribution (>200A nominal), protection algorithms for software based, hardware based, and mixed software/hardware protection schemes, as wells as AC/DC & DC/DC converter applications.
Modeling and simulation has been key to successful execution of complex, high density designs. I am proficient with MathCAD, MATLAB, and SPICE, and have created a number of tools in Excel VBA and Visual Studio C# to expedite design entry and lab processes.
Academically, I obtained my MSEE from the University of Washington in 2014 after receiving my Cum Laude BSEE in 2010 from Seattle University.
Hardware Development Electrical Engineer @ From November 2015 to Present (2 months) Electrical Engineer @ Circuit design and analysis, with a focus on power conversion, analog signal conditioning, discrete logic and control, and interfacing with FPGA systems and embedded systems. Product design, analysis, and testing, is for the high reliability, aerospace market; providing OEM hardware to meet the unique needs of our customers in their power distribution systems. From July 2011 to November 2015 (4 years 5 months) System Integration Engineer @ SMART BUILDING SOLUTIONS GROUP (2011):
Functioned as a Technology Solutions Engineer for McKinstry's Smart Building Solutions Group, where I was primarily tasked with the design and implementation of unique metering methodologies, including custom hardware design and implementation, as well as software development for protocol analysis and task automation.
My work included an analysis and implementation of new optical metering technologies, as well as a rich set of automation tools which helped increase the deployment and commissioning efficiency of the team. Tools were primarily written in C#, with some TCP/UDP based discovery based written in Java.
AUDIO VISUAL GROUP (2009-2011):
I worked closely with the A/V department director and project managers to develop standards for project documentation, and source code archiving, as well as templating for improvements in the development of future projects.
Completed contracted assignments to configure microprocessor based control systems for interoperability between components from different vendors. I configured devices for communication using RS-232, infrared, and Socket communication.
I quickly mastered a broad range of non-standard development environments for the configuration of systems and embedded software.
I functioned as a graphic designer to create custom touch panel user interfaces with unique graphics which maintained customers' corporate identity and aesthetics. Upon completion of each assignment I wrote up documentation and guides for systems use, and led customer training for groups of 20+ in system use and operation.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS GROUP (2008-2009):
I assisted with the development of complete turn-key implementations of cellular Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). Ran simulation and propagation simulations for antenna systems targeting GSM, CMDA, EVDO, iDen, and GPS.
Created manuals for system configuration to ease in future deployment of DAS systems. From June 2008 to July 2011 (3 years 2 months) Seattle University Chair @ From 2008 to 2010 (2 years) Telecomm Intern @ As an intern with McKinstry's telecommunications department, I have worked on several stages of the implementation of distributed antenna systems (DAS) and RF remediation projects at Microsoft's Redmond campus. Furthermore, I utilized my skills in technical communications to setup new standards for RF and DAS submittal packages to Microsoft, as well as for the documentation of meeting minutes. While on site, I additionally setup and maintained a local server with regularly scheduled data backup and synchronization. From June 2008 to November 2009 (1 year 6 months) Food Court Clerk @ I operated food court registers, assisted in general cleaning and maintenance, and performed all elements of stocking and food preparation. During my time there, I received positive reviews for urgency, customer service, learning ability, and attention to detail. From June 2007 to September 2007 (4 months)
Master of Science, Electrical Engineering @ University of Washington From 2011 to 2014 Bachelor of Science, Electrical Engineering @ Seattle University From 2007 to 2010
