EX PERIENCE
INTERNSHIPS
Hewlett Packard Inc. Intern Design Engineer Summer 2016 – Fall 2016
 Developed FPGA Prototyping Environment for easier Application Specific Integrated Circuit(ASIC) development. Used socket based
transaction protocol to send requests Linux development machine. Developed and integrated Linux driver for PCI-express to read
and write registers. Designed hardware non-ASIC specific to be reusable. Allows for CPU proxy models, and led to performance
increase by 10 million.
 Designed RFID based security system for company Makerspace. Used C# to decode and Wiegand format and interface with card
reader. Interfaced with SQL employee database.
Texas Instruments Intern Applications Engineer Summer 2015 – Fall 2015
 Developed software examples for MSP 432 and EDU MKII Booster Pack in C and assembly
 Led a team of interns for TI innovation challenge as well as: designed schematic, laid out PCB, and micro-soldered components for a
battery-less NFC Energy Harvester Booster Pack for MSP MCU’s. Using a half bridge rectifier and LPM modes to make a board last
20 hours on a single charge.
 Analyzed and Designed PCB and software changes to multiple MCU’s, packaged them with Make files and GIT to sync
 Converted batch and shell scripts from Windows to MAC OSX
Advanced Micro Devices CO-OP Design Engineer Spring 2015 - Summer 2015
 Improved and maintained internal tools used to parse information retrieved from models of cache
