Graduation Date: December 2012;
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering; North Carolina State University at Raleigh.
Graduation Date: May 2011;
Related Coursework: Advanced VLSI, Bipolar & CMOS Integrated Design, Data Converters
Skill sets Skilled in the following areas:
BJT and CMOS Integrated Design
SPICE applications - Virtuoso, ORCAD Capture, LTSPICE
Integrated layout design with Cadence Virtuoso, PCB design with EagleCAD
Maple, Matlab, C-Programming, AVR Microcontroller programming
Strengths Passionate, self-motivated, driven to produce results, and work well in team environment.
Experience Network Operations Control Engineer - Verizon, Cary, NC 7/13 – 4/15
Provide Tier-1 surveillance and support for Environmental Systems, Emergency Generator and
Power-related Hardware, Fuel Tank, and Fire System alarms in a multi-vendor environment to
include Verizon Domestic, EMEA, and APAC networks.
Lead the effort to integrate new systems (Verizon Telecom and Softswitch building alarms) to the
portfolio of supported systems. Subject matter expert and training other team members in ana-
lyzing and responding to event triggers from these systems
Identify areas for process improvements within the group and implement potential solutions. Spe-
cially recognized for developing software to improve group responsiveness and decrease indi-
vidual call handle time.
Projects First stage MDAC for use within a Pipelined ADC:
A 2.5-bit, Multiplying Digital to Analog Converter was designed for use within the first stage of an
11-bit, 25MHz Pipelined ADC. A transistor-level schematic of the Flash ADC as well as the MDAC
was simulated with Cadence Virtuoso Spectre to measure performance and expected internal
waveforms.
Persistence of vision display (Personal Project):
Sensing the position of a rotating printed circuit board, a series of LEDs were controlled to display a
desired, coherent after image. Project helped gain insight into PCB design and peripheral interfac-
ing via AVR microcontroller.
3D FDTD simulations of various antenna designs:
The Finite Difference Time Domain method of simulation was implemented in Matlab to obtain vis-
ual representations of EM signals generated by various antennas. The project helped to translate
concepts learned in electromagnetics and gain an intuitive understanding of how antennas gener-
ate specific wave patterns.
Parallel programming utilizing OpenCL-OpenGL Interoperability (Personal Project):
A foray into GPU programming to simulate a large number of particles in order to achieve a desired
visual effect. Project helped gain insight into parallel programming design challenges and optimiza-
tion techniques.
Personal US Citizen, Willing to travel and relocate.
