AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner
Hobby Programmer + Leetcoder
Current Position
Technology Associate & Software Engineer 1 @ Capitol CNCT
- Focusing on internal tools and events software
- Ramping up for web and app changes
Previous Roles
Systems Intern @ Journey Robotics
April 2025-August 2025
- Assisted a small team developing software for a 6-DoF arm which unloads aircraft luggage onto a conveyor
- Adjusted FANUC teach pendant code so it could receive pre-pick and pick positions (which were determined by different cameras) on the same TCP messaging socket
- Much of my work revolved around sensors and data collection, I evaluated three potential depth cameras with their software to see which best fit our use cases. This involved intrinsic and hand-eye calibration
- Created my own tool to tag rosbags for flat-level storage purposes and created a script to automatically record and annotate suitcases on conveyor belts into a coco dataset
Undergraduate Researcher @ CMU Biorobotics Lab
September 2023-April 2025
- Joined as a junior where completed gui inputs for a data generation tool that used Blender to generate images of phones in different lighting conditions for YOLACT model training.
- Later implemented auto-segmentation (with human validation) for phone image inputs and the ability to generate datasets for a classification model with only 3 clicks.
- Developed software for a CNC Router, equipped with a camera and hole puncher, to detect, approach, and remove harddrive screws using pneumatic force with two other undergraduates. I focused on screw detection, error handling, template comparisons with previously seen harddrives
- This project was later fitted to work with TVs where I used object-character recognition tools to read small text TV labels
Other Jobs:
Front of House @ Tatte (2025-🤫)
DC Tour Guide @ US Ghost Adventures (Summer 2023)
