I worked toward designing a UAV mounted imaging system for agricultural applications. The system integrated cameras and sensors with a single-board computer to collect data through the flight. I developed software in C++ and C and utilized bash and makefile.

Clinton E. and Lillian C. DuBois Scholarship in Electrical Engineering
In Spring of 2016, I was invited to join Phi Kappa Phi for being in the top 10% of my class and was initiated through the Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering. The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is an honor society established in 1897 to recognize and encourage superior scholarship without restriction as to an area of study and to promote the "unity and democracy of education."

A team of student engineers and I, through the SDSU Senior Design program, developed a Cortisol Measurement Timestamp Device. The project was sponsored by the SDSU Department of Nursing, who would be using the product. This device was an improvement upon a previous design with the same objective: to enable medical research to be carried out in the everyday lives of patients, rather than in a laboratory. The idea was to have patients collect their saliva periodically throughout the day to test for cortisol levels (or any other medical indicator). Having them go through the daily stresses of life while collecting these samples creates more realistic levels of cortisol than when they visit a laboratory to perform the same test. However, often times patients will misrecord or forget the time they gave a sample, and cortisol levels are very sensitive to time in order to be properly analyzed by the researchers. That is where our device came in.
Our timestamping device was designed to be carried around by the patient in everyday life and record the time that each sample was taken with one minute of accuracy and down to the second of precision. The electronics solution included a microcontroller, an array of sensors and indicators, a power supply, and a USB port to transfer data to an external computer. The device's structural housing was designed by our team, as well as a computer application used to initialize the device and extract device data in a simple and easy way.
My design contributions to the project included firmware development (in C), application development (in C++), and electronics design. I also drafted the PCB layout using EagleCAD, soldered components to the board and performed component and system level tests throughout the project. This project gave me first-hand experience with project management (through each stage of the project life cycle), documentation, risk analysis and giving technical presentations.

Serve and Learn Student Association (SALSA)
As a student in High School, I was an active member of SALSA for four years. SALSA is a student association promoted through the City of Sioux Falls and had a local chapter at Lincoln High School. This organization promoted new volunteer opportunities as well as encouraged members to continue volunteering at places they were already familiar with. I personally volunteered at regularly at my Church, The Banquet, the Feeding South Dakota food pantry, and The Orpheum Theatre. I also gave two speeches at the local Rotary Club of Sioux Falls, discussing with local business leaders my passion for volunteer work

My colleagues and I perform music to spread joy to parts of our community that otherwise might be forgotten. In Sioux Falls and Brookings, we have visited the VA, The Banquet, Trail Ridge, Sunnycrest, and United Retirement Centers. This experience is extremely rewarding for us, getting to reach out in a unique way to parts of the community we don’t see often. We hope to continue this type of service in the future.
