Mechatronics, Robotics, and Controls

I am a firm believer that many processes in the world could be smarter, better, and faster. Robotics and mechatronics automate processes to make them smarter, better, and/or faster; control systems interface with existing systems and modify their behavior to be smarter, better, and/or faster.

Below is a selection of my experiences relevant to mechatronics, robotics, and controls.

• Automatic Guitar Tuner: Automatically tunes a guitar string in a single strum.
• Olin Robotic Sailing Team: Attempting to build the world's first autonomous sailing vessel to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
• Motion Control Engineer at National Instruments: Enabling control of up to 8 DC brushless motors on an FPGA within a single embedded CompactRIO controller.
  
• Electrical and Computer Engineer at Lit Motors: Integral member of team working to create a self-balanced, fully-enclosed, fully-electric motorcycle in an attempt to revolutionize personal transportation technology.
