ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE

Independent Embedded Systems Engineer | Production systems

• Architected distributed real-time controls for a production multi-axis motor system: ARM Cortex-M firmware, CAN messaging, multilayer Altium control boards, feedback, and fault-triggered safe stops.
• Owned board bring-up and hardware/software integration under a fixed production deadline; delivered operating documentation and trained production staff.
• Isolated intermittent CAN/control latency with a logic analyzer, traced a control-loop deadline overrun, moved scheduling to a fixed-rate timer interrupt, and revalidated motion.

Co-Software Lead, Mars Rover Team | University Rover Challenge

• Integrated ROS 2/Nav2 autonomy across two rover competition seasons, including behavior-tree waypoint navigation, ArUco detection, obstacle avoidance, and stereo, LiDAR, GPS, and IMU inputs.
• Built an asynchronous Rust STM32 interface connecting autonomous and teleoperated commands to hardware; integrated ODrive CAN motor control, Jetson video, and React/TypeScript and Foxglove operator interfaces.
• Validated behavior through field trials, rosbag replay, and Gazebo/Isaac Sim environments; coordinated subsystem integration through GitHub reviews and containerized navigation tests.

Technology and Computer Engineering Consultant | Aviation, aerospace, maritime, and advanced manufacturing

• Develop engineering software and system architecture across aerospace, maritime, and advanced manufacturing, supporting the O3-led $15 billion-plus Orlando Sanford International Airport development opportunity.

Agentic Blended-Wing-Body Aircraft Design | Python, NumPy, SciPy, OpenVSP, CalculiX

• Built an automated aircraft-design workflow coordinating domain and validation agents across geometry, mass, payload, avionics, and multidisciplinary analysis. Connected parametric geometry with aerodynamic, structural, mass, and aeroelastic solvers.
• Screened hundreds of variants and validated three finalists with higher-fidelity tools; identified approximately 24% lower structural mass versus the trade-study baseline. Preserved solver artifacts and validation events, checked published references, and flagged uncertain outputs for engineering review.

Distributed Shipbuilding Ontology | Rust, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, React

• Built ontology-driven software for distributed defense-vessel construction planning, connecting parts, equipment, personnel, and task dependencies to an operator interface. Integrated OPC-UA adapters and OR-Tools CP-SAT resource-constrained scheduling.
• Implemented role-based access, event history, and tamper-evident audit records; deployed locally and refined workflows with operator feedback for potential deployment by U.S. shipbuilders.

SELECTED SOFTWARE & VALIDATION PROJECTS

Electronic-Warfare Decision Engine | Haskell, DSP, reproducible evaluation

• Engineered a signal-to-decision pipeline using FFT and CA-CFAR detection, emitter-feature extraction, threat-library matching, and constrained response selection. Implemented confidence-based abstention when evidence was insufficient.
• Processed synthetic and recorded SigMF IQ; evaluated response plans against mission state, spectrum restrictions, and resource limits. Retained decision evidence for adversarial scenario evaluation and replay-based debugging in pinned Nix environments.

Flight-Software Analysis & Exploit Discovery | Rust, PX4 v1.16

• Built a Rust analyzer for C/C++ flight software with function discovery, call extraction, MAVLink-handler lookup, and checks for authentication references, unsafe memory access, and unexpected navigation-state writes.
• Verified call-graph extraction and detection rules against PX4 functions and vulnerable-versus-corrected fixtures; completed 29 passing tests and a release build, producing traceable findings for source review.

ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE

Litigation Technology and Evidence Systems Consultant | Trial and evidence preparation

• Designed tools and workflows to organize and synchronize video, images, documents, timelines, and demonstrative exhibits; created courtroom-ready multimedia presentations and applied data-processing, conversion, quality-control, and retrieval methods across large evidentiary records.

Independent Field Researcher and Developer | Apple AR/LiDAR research partnership

• Configured sensors and validated field captures across multiple sites; developed C software and repeatable protocols for consistent indoor scanning.

Automation Lead | Hospital deployments

• Built a computer-vision and Swift iOS workflow for pharmaceutical identification and disposal in HIPAA-compliant hospital environments, including secure APIs, access controls, and audit logging.
