Rocket Payload
I lead a team of electrical engineers in designing the electrical system for a rocket payload. We created 3 subsystems: an orientation system comprised of servo motors which kept the payload within 5 degrees of vertical, an imaging system which used a Raspberry Pi and 4 cameras to take and stitch together a panoramic photo of the landing site, and a wireless transmission system which used a radio bonnet to send the finalized image to a host computer. This project involved electrical design, soldering, coding in python, antenna testing, component research, technical document writing, and presentations to NASA panels.

Droid & Video Game
I constructed a droid inspired by Star Wars and themed after Pikachu for my Droid Building class. This involved designing and printing 3D models in TinkerCAD, designing and creating electrical systems for lighting, motion, and sound, and arduino programming. Although all individual components of the droid were completed, Covid measures forced this project to remain unfinished. However, I was able to continue focusing on Arduino programming by creating a frogger-style, Pokemon themed video game instead.

Lighting & Electrical Underground
These are electrical engineering drawings from a construction project that I created while working at Lake Erie Electric. I generated the project in Revit and populated it with the architectural layouts and lighting. The light, grey lines on the sheet are from the architectural drawing, while the darker lines, red labels, and green wiring are my work. I added lights, elevations, and labels to the first drawing and planned out the electrical underground in the second and third drawings so that they could be sent off to the construction site of this library.
