Advinow Medical

Automation Software Engineer

Date: October 2018 – may 2019 (contract role)

Hired to spearhead a challenging project, I successfully developed a software suite to integrate Electronic Health Records (EHR) from diverse third-party sources into our system. With thousands of EHR companies lacking standardized systems, my role involved creating an engine to collect and centralize data. Leading a small team, I achieved this in a swift 4-month timeframe, utilizing Selenium for human-like web data retrieval. Post-project, I transitioned to the AI team, leveraging PyTorch and TensorFlow to construct data models enhancing healthcare examinations. Given the medical device context, I maintained stringent quality standards to ensure the trustworthiness of this experimental technology for doctors and patients alike.

Automated Solutions Group LLC

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Engineer

Date: May 2018 – October 2018(contract role)

As a key contributor to Automated Solutions Group LLC, a pioneering small-scale AI and robotics company, I played a vital role in an innovative project focused on enhancing efficiency in the produce grading and packaging industry. Our goal was to implement AI and robotics technologies to streamline the sorting and picking of potatoes. I took charge of developing a cutting-edge apparatus, housing a strategically positioned camera within a specialized container. This camera was seamlessly integrated with an artificial intelligence system, meticulously trained on a neural network to identify and classify rotten potatoes with precision. The innovative aspect of this system lay in its ability to map the coordinates of the identified potatoes. In real-time collaboration, these coordinates were transmitted to a Fanuc robot, which I programmed to execute precise picking actions. This seamless integration of hardware and software allowed for the swift and accurate removal of undesirable potatoes from the production line, showcasing the capabilities of AI and robotics in optimizing agricultural processes. My role in this project exemplified my proficiency in leveraging advanced technologies to solve real-world challenges.

Arizona State University Physics Research Team

Laboratory Assistant

Date: May 2016 – May 2018(student role)

At the Physical Instructional Research Team worked with management on annual budget and monthly statement reconciliation, I would also grade papers for undergraduate physics labs. I would Assemble and disassemble the daily undergraduate laboratory set ups. Another responsibility of mine was working with IT/UTO departments to troubleshoot day-to-day staff and student computer issues. I also took on the role of developing Automated workflow processes Non-intrusively using selenium. I automated a lot of the tedious tasks using this process so we can work harder in the laboratory.

Northern Arizona University

Student Web Developer

Date: october 2013 – May 2015(student role)

As a student web developer I began on front end webpage design and development, using bootstrap, AngularJS, and javascript. I moved on to backend development using C#, asp.NET, SQL, and tortoiseSVN/git. This was my first developer position and taught me the foundation of what i know today as a Software Engineer. As a student developer my supervisors prioritized education over deliverable products providing a wonderful learning environment.
