Industrial Automation

Circuits control current and voltage to perform computation, signaling, and power distribution across components and boards.

Physical assemblies transfer force and motion through components such as gears and actuators under constraints of energy, friction, and material properties.

Physical machines such as CPUs, GPUs, memory, and storage execute instructions under constraints of heat, power, and architecture-level parallelism.

A vision-based robot control system using National Instruments hardware and LabVIEW — the robot sees, decides, and acts — with lessons that transferred directly to later data pipeline and real-time processing work.

Systems coordinate projects, resources, timelines, and costs in the building of physical infrastructure.

Built a VPN system for remote programming and testing of actual FRC RoboRIO hardware — not a simulator — and learned as much about networking latency as robotics in the process.

Home automation interests me because it brings systems thinking into everyday physical life.

Designed and tested a DIY HVAC solution for an unresolved third-floor heating and cooling problem using 12-inch ducts and AC Infinity inline fans — before a full system replacement validated the approach.

The third room in the Magnolia LED rollout, introducing physical constraints around heat, grease, and the need for actually useful task lighting.

A LabVIEW and CompactRIO data acquisition system to measure a novel Solar Thermal Electric Panel against commercial systems — results published on ResearchGate.
