Rollout Photography of Ancient Art
Following a method discovered online, created a setup to allow for object with circular symmetry (ex. a cup) to be unrolled into 2D images to better display the iconography on the artifact.  To do this a custom variable speed turntable, a parallax bar, a motorized camera mount, and a cardboard slit were used.

Ancient Artifact Reverse Image Search
A class project in which a reverse image search was created similar to searching with an image in a search engine such as Google.  A convolutional neural network was used to shrink 10,000 images down into smaller size that could then be scored and compared to a query image.   Images with the closest scores were returned to the user.

Ancient Artifact Culture Predictor with a CNN
A class project using computer vision techniques and the use of a convolutional neural network to predict the culture of an ancient artifact based solely off of an image.  To achieve this 1,000 training images per culture were used to generate weights of the CNN.  After several training iterations, the model was able to predict correctly about 80% of the time.

Turtlebot SLAM Mapping
Worked with 3 other students to make a TurtleBot map an unknown room with SLAM.  Using ROS, a RGB-D camera, and open source packages, the TurtleBot was programmed to explore a room until the room was known while simultaneously creating a 3D point cloud of the area.

NASA Robotic Mining Competition - Senior Design
Part of a group of 8 tasked with creating a robot capable of digging deep into a simulated Martian surface. Fabricated/designed the digging subsystem, which included creating a custom angled bucket ladder, toothed buckets, and a filtration system to separate unwanted materials. Also responsible for our group’s fund raising, fund management and travel, as well as graphic design. Team placed 14th (out of 50 total).

Intro to Robotics Final Project - Lego 3D Printer
As a student in Intro to Robotics, I teamed up with a fellow student and created a somewhat functional Lego 3D printer using only Lego Technic pieces and motors, two Arduinos, a few sensors to measure distance, and a 3D printing pen.  The final product mimicked the mechanics of typical FDM printers with a 3-axis gantry system and was able to produce several layers of stacked squares.

Summer Mechanical Engineering Intern
Worked with the engineering department to come up with solutions to various problems on sorting equipment. Created part list for a soft-start valve for a client, created brackets to mount new plates on existing designs, and designed an adjustable box to assist in testing of the machines. Also performed laser-box alignment and created tools to assist in pneumatic valve alignment.

U.S. SUGAR
https://www.linkedin.com/company/u.s.-sugar
Undergraduate Summer Mechanical Engineering Intern
Learned about sugar processing from raw sugar cane to granulated white sugar, with specific focus on the mechanical side of operations, including tank inspection, pump designs, reliability and machining. Developed replacement part on a key filtering device. After part failed, used SolidWorks to create engineering drawing that would allow management to evaluate outsourcing the replacement part vs. producing in-house using a water jet.
