PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Seikowave, Inc. Lexington, KY 2015 – Present
Software Engineer/Intern
Leaders in 3D imaging and analysis using non-destructive testing in the field. Entered into the company as a
software engineering intern, and quickly received major responsibilities in developing new product lines and
improving existing products. Considered as a full member of the team, and given responsibilities and tasks on par
with experienced software and electrical engineers.
• Developed new process for camera calibration used in all 3D imaging systems which saves hours on the
time it takes to calibrate a system.
• Review new features and software packages to verify functionality and correctness to assure customer
satisfaction in the field.
• Performed experiments to determine best hardware for use in product lines resulting in saving the company
time and money developing software by determining hardware with best performance.
• Created robust software for the development of ruggedized field equipment which outperforms
competitors’ 3D imaging system in terms of performance and durability.
University of Kentucky Lexington, KY February 2014 - Present
Research Assistant
Working under Dr. Todd Hastings designing and conducting experiments using electron microscopy. Investigated
the fundamental processes behind liquid phase electron beam induced lithography (LPEBIL).
• Created, documented, and implemented a procedure for measurement of hydrated electrons in LPEBIL.
• Research findings being used to investigate improvements to circuit editing, creating nanostructures, and
nanoscale circuit design.
