Message

At Makel Engineering, Inc, I developed Zephyr-based C/C++ firmware for Nordic nRF52840 devices, including real-time sensor acquisition and Bluetooth Low Energy data transmission. I also integrated inertial and optical sensors and developed buffering and recovery mechanisms for sensor records.

I developed software for a NASA Astrobee Guest Science payload and companion Android application, along with C# desktop tools and Python utilities for device configuration, monitoring, and testing. At AVL Looms, I owned the software lifecycle for an electronically controlled industrial system and led a cross-functional quality-control team.
