About Me

I live in Boise ID and in my free time enjoy rafting, making music, and working on my hydroponic garden.

I started going to Boise State University full-time in 2020, and am pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering. I have a lot of experience with programming, and have had a few different internships where I was tasked with research and development for different projects, at ECCO and Royal Jay.



Internships

ECCO Safety Group

I had an internship at ECCO in 2017 where I worked on developing a light tester for the hardware they built. Using an Arduino and a CAN Shield automobile interface. In working with this hardware I found an error in the CAN Shield code by Seeed Studio and fixed an rtr bit issue, getting my first pull request accepted into the official codebase!

Royal Jay

The summer of 2018, following my internship at ECCO, I took an internship at Royal Jay, also local to Boise, Idaho. When I was working there, they were focused on healthcare software to aid in the simplification of healthcare in Idaho and the US more generally.

While I was interning there, I was tasked with finding applications for machine learning in determining healthcare outcomes. I was given anonymized data, and using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning software I ran different regressions to find what trends I could. In the end I gave a presentation showing the outcomes of the research and regressions and discussed potential applications of my findings.

Programming

I am also a capable programmer, with a variety of languages, with various applications at my disposal. I have experience using REST API’s and writing web servers. I have written firmware for testing purposes, and have machine learning experience that allows me to accomplish nearly any task given to me.

I know the following languages

  • Python
  • Go
  • Java
  • C++
  • C
  • Javascript

Python and Go being my go to languages for web servers and REST applications, as well as back end uses such as with a Raspberry Pi.

An example of my programming ability can be found here on Github. This is a project I wrote for a project challenge, I and a group of friends did at Colorado School of Mines. There are three different programs using three different languages, that use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as the go between to create a website that displays a live temperature reading from Raspberry Pi.
