EDUCATION
Certificate – Ruby on Rails
University of Washington (UW) – Seattle, WA

Certificate – Java Programming
University of Washington (UW) – Seattle, WA

Bachelor of Science – Computer Engineering
Michigan State University (MSU) – East Lansing, MI

Senior Project: Head programmer and search algorithm designer for a team of 5 building an autonomous “mine sweeping” robot that searched for mines represented by magnets in a marked off 4’ x 4’ square. When a magnet was discovered the robot would signal its presence by sounding an alarm and blinking an LED. My group designed and built the sensors used to detect the magnets and boundaries. The PIC microcontroller that controlled all motor functions, search algorithm, and processed the sensorial information was programmed in C. You can watch video here and here.
