• Worked to maintain and expand the smart piece-picking software platform: creating software interfaces to integrate the product with collaborative and industrial third-party robotic arms, debugging challenging trajectory and path-planning problems, and creating custom Python and bash tooling. • Took initiative to improve testing protocol by automating our UI review process with Selenium and JavaScript, reducing test time by a factor of ten. • Developed a monitoring tool which leveraged publisher-subscriber protocol to log specific picking events and enable better diagnostic analysis. • Ported robot arm driver code from Python 2 to Python 3, discovered and resolved an existing bug.
Swarthmore College | Engineering Workshop
Leveraged shop expertise to assist students in using precision tools and maintaining a clean and safe workplace. Honed my rapid fabrication and prototyping skills during off-peak idle time. (CNC machining, 3D printing, lathe, drill press, welding, etc.)
Swarthmore College
Instructed and supported students during weekly help sessions; material ranged from mechanical problem sets to debugging Arduino C code. Promoted the creation of an inclusive engineering community by encouraging a collaborative and jovial work environment and forming genuine connections.
IRIS Moon Rover - Carnegie Mellon
Collaborated with a multi-tiered project team, performing rigorous tests of Visual SLAM packages to determine the feasibility of various localization solutions for this cube rover mission.
Space Physics Research Lab (SPRL) - University of Michigan
Crafted a modern, easily navigable website and translated dense scientific papers into concise articles that illuminated the department's cutting-edge research in the service of promoting interdepartmental collaboration. Learned to navigate differing department standards and protocols.
Clean Water Action
Engaged the community by presenting complicated issues clearly and concisely to raise support for environmental laws in Michigan.
AuPair World
Took a gap year to improve my French fluency and gain an immersive understanding of French culture. Worked as an Au Pair (live-in Nanny) in France, responsible for English tutoring and coordinating the Blanchard children’s (twin boys aged 6, and a 12-year-old girl) schedules.
Presented at the 7th Conference on Beneficial Microbes. University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI.
Author: Michael S. Wollenberg, Contributors: Hannah Bartoshesky, Connor Webb, David Clarke Lab work at Kalamazoo College: Tested and thoroughly documented variations of PCR procedures to develop an optimized method of amplifying and extracting specific gene sequences.
Bachelor's of Science, Engineering | Philosophy Minor
Mixed specialization in mechanical engineering and robotics Selected coursework: •Mobile robotics • Algorithmic Design of Structures •Embedded systems •Mechanic dynamics •Data structures and algorithms •Mechanics of solids An interdisciplinary program that seeks to graduate students with a broad, rigorous education, emphasizing strong analysis and synthesis skills while providing a unique perspective that integrates technical and nontechnical factors in the design of solutions to multifaceted problems.
