Work History
Scouting Android App
Hartland High School Robotics Club
01.2022 - 04.2022
- Created a multi page scouting application that was run on 6 tables to track robot performance in matches.
- Utilized a database to store all information collected, camera functionality to assist in identifying a robot on the field, sent data via Bluetooth to the master tablet which included advanced analytics.
- Useful analytics included confidence intervals to determine our chance to win future matches, average points scored by each robot broken down into subcategories to understand a robots strengths. Graphs indicateing if a robots is trending up or down throughout a tournament.
- Participated in code reviews to ensure adherence to coding standards and best practices among team members.
Driver Station Webpage
Hartland Robotics Club
01.2021 - 05.2021

- UI made so the information is quickly digestible at a glace such as an arrow corresponding to the current angle of a contraption
Lead Robot Programmer
Hartland Robotics Club
09.2017 - 05.2019
- Ran the control systems team for robot development teaching younger members and thoroughly documenting all work done in an engineering notebook
- Used java to create autonomous programs using sensors and cameras to guide the robot along with driver controlled programs which read input from a controller to operate the robot.
- Assisted other teams with their code at competitions and helping write simple autonomous programs or debug their issues.
Custom LED Programming
Hartland Robotics Club
01.2020 - 05.2020
- Wired and soldered LED stripes that were attached to our robots frame and displayed in our teams pit.
