Technical Skills
Electronics Troubleshooting: Experienced in troubleshooting circuits using test equipment such as
digital multi-meters, oscilloscopes, signal generators, meggers, and debugging tools.
PCB Design: Experienced using software to design and simulate electrical circuits before prototyping.
This includes using LT Spice/OrCAD for schematic design and analysis and then moving onto Altium to
design the completed PCB.
PCB Fabrication: Experienced in hand soldering of SMDs including 0402 packaging and TH components.
Project Documentation: Experienced documenting large projects from start to finish. This includes
documenting all design, testing, revision, and commissioning information necessary to the project.
Design Software: Electrical and mechanical modeling experience using Solid Works and AutoCAD.
Experienced using document management systems to update, track, and release revised drawings.
Mechanical Fabrication: Past experience in metal, wood and composites fabrication, including the use
of basic hand and shop tools, lathes, laser engravers, and 3D printers.
Programming Experience: MatLab, C, C++, and Python.
Personal Projects
FM Radio Receiver: I designed and built an FM receiver using Altium. This included constructing the
schematic, creating the necessary schematic and PCB footprints, and laying out the PCB. Project Link
Tri-Copter: I designed and built my own tri-copter before personal drones were mainstream. It used a 3
axis accel/gyro with an Atmel 644 processor to continuously adjust the flight dynamics. Project Link
Data Logger: In collaboration with UVic FSAE, I designed and built a data logger to be used during off
season testing. The completed project uses an Arduino with a homemade breakout board to record 8
inputs and write the data to a CSV file on an SD card for further analysis. Project Link
1989 Bayliner Capri Electrical System Upgrade: I completely redesigned and installed a new onboard
electrical system. This included installing a new power distribution system for a bilge pump, navigation
lights, horn, instrumentation panel, depth sounder, and a 1000W sound system. Project Link
