RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE
Honda of America Mfg. Anna, OH
Deskside Support Technician May 2015 - Present
I troubleshoot hardware and software problems with associates' computers. Depending on the task, I either use a remote desktop
connection or physically go to troubleshoot the issue on the production floor. I diagnose hardware issues, request replacement parts
for computers under warranty, and perform repairs. I also assist with replacing computers at the end of their lease.
Windows 7 Upgrade Technician May 2014 - August 2014
I installed Windows 7 images and migrated user applications and data from Windows XP. I also wrote scripts to automate some of
the more tedious software installations. I checked for compatibility problems with older hardware and software.
Cedarville University Information Technology Cedarville, OH
Student Technician, User Services Student Worker August 2012 - May 2015
I repaired student laptops and university-owned desktops. I performed troubleshooting on a wide range of devices for network
connectivity, such as those that were not capable of WPA2 Enterprise authentication. For record-keeping and communication, we
used task management software to track the progress of each service request.

PROJECTS
Senior Design Project: Eight swarm robots each consisting of a 3D printed chassis and wheels, a Raspberry Pi computer with a
camera for image processing, and a PIC microcontroller for peripheral interfacing. The robots communicate wirelessly via TCP.
They perform tasks as a group that would be impossible to do as individuals. Once an algorithm is started, the robots work
autonomously. I worked on a large portion of the algorithm design and improved our color detection thresholds. I also modified
each robot to reduce power consumption and prevent current overdraw.
