Pi4Micronaut

• Designed and developed a modular Java library that bridges the Micronaut framework with low-level Raspberry Pi hardware through Pi4J.
• Implemented real-time sensor integrations (e.g., thermistors, photoresistors, speed sensors), enabling high-performance data acquisition and processing for IoT applications.
• Wrote unit and integration tests using mock GPIO input/output to ensure robust hardware abstraction and system reliability.

Open-Project

• Collaborated on a full-stack web application supporting the university's additive manufacturing.
• Developed administrative functionality for creating, disabling, and managing shop entries.
• Wrote and executed backend tests for POST and PUT endpoints, ensuring API reliability and data integrity.

• Supervised intramural referees during shifts to ensure game flow.
• Trained and mentored new referees and supervisors for sport-specific rules and protocols for managing on-field conflicts or escalated situations.

• Carried out city-wide maintenance tasks by executing municipal work orders.
