Executive summary

separador

I have strong experience as an Electrical Engineer, with a focus on industrial automation equipment and systems. At Olin-Winchester, LCAAP, I successfully programmed and modified PLCs and vision systems, troubleshooted automation/general-electric equipment, and implemented various components such as motor drives, HMIs, servos, machine vision cameras, and industrial networks. I am also responsible for creating electrical operational procedures and schematics using AutoCAD alongside various, other engineering programs.

Outside of work, I have demonstrated technical leadership skills as a Technical Lead for my Senior Design Project, where my team and I designed a SLAM system for three similtaneous devices using Python, C++, and RobotC. I have also used my programming abilities for my position as a Research Assistant at UMKC SCE, for conducting research on Xilinx series 5 FPGAs in Java and Python. On my personal projects, I have additional experience in various projects, including setting up a home NAS, custom network-wide DNS resolution / DHCP server, implementing Docker and Virtual Machine network stacks, and an AI camera system. I have also led the UMKC GamerRoo eSports team and Fan Translators Int. projects where I coordinated activites and managed teams.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Missouri - Kansas City, with a GPA of 3.4, and I currently work as an Electrical Engineer for Olin Winchester at LCAAP. I am also currently working on a CCNA certification.

What I am Doing

Rocket Slime

After creating a team of like-minded individuals, we hacked into the inner workings of an old 3DS game to translate its proprietary JP-only text into EN. Done over a course of years with two releases thus far.

Home Server

Created custom server for purposes of NAS, media playback, file hosting, private VPN, and network modification capabilities.

Firewall

Used homelab to run modified FOSS for blocking ads and malicious traffic, and modifying local DNS requests to point to services on my network.
