Worked on an IOT project involving a series of connected sensor PCB boards designed for airplane cabins. Designed, updated, debugged, and tested C language firmware for the EFMPG22 MCU chip in order to utilize the on-chip peripherals, and to communicate with external sensors on the sensor board via the I2C and SPI communication protocol. Updated the firmware to access the Memory System Controller peripheral in order to implement a feature where the MCU chip could be programmed via the USB port on the sensor board and a Python script, instead of using expensive programmers.

In a team of 4, designed/developed a web application using HTML, CSS, SQLite, and the Python Flask web framework so that the department can search/add/update data in a software tracking database efficiently. Tested against given requirements, and presented the application and extensive documentation as deliverables Tested connections of an ACDC-converter-testing-fixture for deployment, by using the schematic and a multimeter Disassembled Acopian ACDC power supplies, flashed updated firmware, tested the firmware with a LabWindows CVI program, and completed bench testing using a multimeter to ensure deliverable quality to customers

Automated Patriot software regression tests using a Patriot automation program and a Patriot analytical program for a software team, in order to reduce resources and time spent on testing software builds. Designed scripts for test automation in a classified lab and gained experience using UNIX. Authored a report on how to use my tests, and how to update them for future builds; presented to the team. Collaborated with a Scrum team to create training resources for software tools; learned Agile methodology

Received professional training in Raytheon business models, including the Software Development Cycle, the Integrated Product Development System, the Capability Maturity Model Integration, and the Raytheon Six Sigma. Assisted with FP programming, concerning the incorporation of the new WMI interface with the existing BattleManager backend software for the Patriot product. Tasked with debugging the Patriot Trainers program through analyzing output files and testing builds. Measured the functionality of the software against the system requirements. Analyzed complex files of C++ code in order to locate errors and suggest possible improvements. Submitted code changes after testing in a classified laboratory to verify the solutions. Tasked with coding a C++ function to implement a new feature that receives a set of Operator Actions for the Patriot Trainers Program, organizes the Operator Actions into groups, and sends the finished message. Gained skills using C++, UNIX, and with working in a professional team setting. Gained exposure to tools such as UNIX emulators, ClearCase, and Workbench.

A two month internship during my Senior year of High School, as a part of the Senior Internship Program that takes place instead of classwork. Calculated the total energy usage, costs, and money saved for the town during each year since 2008. Made mathematical projections for energy usage and costs for the next 20 years. Gained experience using Google Sheets and Logger Pro. Delivered a report analyzing the Boxford Photovoltaic System and its changing financial benefits though time.

Responsibilities included setting up the cash register, stocking products, taking customer orders, closing the register at the end of the shift, calculating the net profits, and leaving $100 in the register for the next day while delivering the rest of the profits to the manager. Gained skills in Customer Service.
