Projects
This project focused on building an image perception pipeline for an RBGD camera. A table with assorted objects was presented in Gazebo simulation space, and after cleaning and segmenting the data I built an SVM perception model to identify each object. My perception pipeline accurately identified all items in each of the 3 provided scenes and packaged the information for a robot to pick up and place each object in a predefined bin.
The most recent project in my Udacity nanodegree gave me a 6 jointed robot arm and a desired path for the robot's gripper. My job was to perform the inverse kinematic analysis to calculate the joint positions that will move the gripper along the requested path. After learning the forward kinematics and doing a full geometric analysis for the inverse kinematics, my robot arm was able to follow the paths it received with negligible error.
My undergraduate senior project tasked a group of 6 mechanical engineering students with designing and building an isokinetic exercise machine. Using the technology of a local startup we built a fully functional prototype after iterating from initial concepts to the final design. As the team leader I had the added responsibility of organizing team meetings and keeping everyone on the same page.
I figured these signs pointed to an overheating issue on whatever cheap electronics Behringer had thrown in the box. Opening up the box revealed a circuit board covered in what I hope was only flux residue. I also found two processors big enough for a basic 20x20 mm heat sink.
The Toyota Prius is currently the highest selling hybrid vehicle and it will be used in this project to observe the connection between the vehicle’s CAN data and the real world.

Hello! I’ve spent 1 month in Eindhoven meaning I’m long overdue for an update on my time here.
