Undergraduate Student Researcher 2003 - Present (over 13 years) Designed and assembled five workstations which run experiments and their respective websites for students to use. Also in this experience, I learned C++ and PHP as the background and planning phase of the REMOTE project.
In addition, this assistantship allowed me to learn MATLAB and work with graduate level control system models so that I could successfully implement reset models for the different experiments.
M.S., Electrical Engineering
Created Cametrics, a real-time citizen campaign data aggregator for Center of Embedded Network Sensors (CENS) citizen campaigns. Cametrics is implemented in Python using the Google App Engine platform.
B.S., Electrical Engineering
Developed the REMOTE Project, a web client for students to use laboratory experiments in the convenience of the home. Using various TCP listening tools and developing a TCP dump visualization/comparison I reversed engineered the server/client relationship of a proprietary protocol.
