- Developed the Azure Space SDK to public GitHub to enable users to develop space borne applications across a variety of satellite platforms - Assisted customers in onboarding on the Azure Space SDK for their satellites and applications - Launched Azure Space SDK applications across 3 different customer satellite platforms

• Developed software that utilizes data from a parent objection detection model or ground truth labels to autogenerate training datasets for additional geospatial object detection models to provide superior detection results and exponential productivity growth • Built and improved Azure Orbital AI tools (transforms) that were deployed into Azure Orbital AI applications used by Microsoft • Microsoft Global Hackathon 2021: my team demonstrated Azure IoT Edge, Containers, and Custom Vision logic to represent a swarm of drones with limited, line-of-sign, connectivity that could investigate and identify objects in a Mars Minecraft environment. The Azure computing framework and live stream video objection detection developed by my team will be deployed to the International Space Station (ISS) and have been implemented into the Microsoft ISS Glove Project. - Developed and trained Microsoft Custom Vision Object Models to detect desired objects (Martians, pyramids, trees, and drones) - Acquired and built the Mars Minecraft environment and populated it with Martians, pyramids, and trees for object detections

• Redesigned and developed a MATLAB post-test analysis software tool for production use that runs ~26X faster and provides auto-generated reports and logs with summary analysis, graphic representations, and full MATLAB figure functions of all parsed data • Created the 1st repository of processed data for over 350 multi-TB test datasets providing the ability to view and analyze test data that was never observed or analyzed before due to the inefficiencies of prior software

• Created and updated Visio electronic wiring diagrams and assemblies for the design and development of a payload testing station • Assembled and built wiring harnesses and communication racks for the development of a communications ground station • Researched new or replacement electronic communications components, technical information, alternative sources, etc.

• Developed a SQL database and Python-based software for a classified network to gather, store, manage, and query Triton UAV flight test data; the software allows users to automatically gather and store data from flight tests into the database which can be queried and exported to the user’s desired application, unlike previously when users had to manually sift through all of Triton’s flight data and manually select their desired information for export • Developed software manuals for proprietary software tools used in the Triton System Center

• Designed, improved, built, and tested multiple testing systems and PCBs for laparoscopic surgery related medical devices; previous testing stations lacked the desired precision or were suboptimal for certain product testing • Extensive software programming in Arduino, Python, and Processing • Extensive technical design utilizing Solidworks, Eagle, silicone casting and molding, Cura, and Formlabs

• Designed, improved, built, and test multiple testing systems for various medical devices whereas previous testing stations where the desired precision or were suboptimal for certain product testing • Designed, improved, built and test medical devices used in laparoscopic surgery • Software programming in Arduino • Extensive technical design utilizing Solidworks, silicone casting and molding, Cura and Formlabs

• Designed a new and improved process and system using Solidworks for testing medical devices • Resolved production issues by diagnosing, troubleshooting, and conducting engineering testing of medical devices • Prepared engineering records and analysis relating to non-conformance of various medical devices during production
