Experience:

Leading the Embedded Firmware development for Ripple, an IoT solution for water coolers that facilitates real-time monitoring of water levels using the Particle Platform and Losant that allows customers to get insights on their water use and helps distributors optimize water deliveries.

Completed a two week internship with Engine, a non-profit organization focused on STEM and Art education. I worked in the Maine Fab Lab, where I operated 3D printers and created educational materials for teaching students the essentials of embedded firmware development with the Particle Photon and various sensors and actuators.

I am using my skills I gathered from my Particle experience to develop new embedded firmware solutions for TankClarity, a company in the oil delivery industry. Recently I have been transitioning their product from the Particle platform to another.

Created and administered the website for DPC New England, a coalition of doctors providing direct primary care. Developed Wordpress, Discourse, and system administration skills on an Ubuntu Linux server. Now providing administrative support and ongoing system updates.

I worked with software and hardware engineers at Particle to test and debug their integration for the Raspberry Pi platform.

I have devoted much of my time to voluntarily helping members of the Particle Community. I directly address topics within the active community, provide assistance with code, and give feedback on Particle’s tools and services.

Education:

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Selected Coursework: Computer Science I (Java), Discrete Mathematics, Calculus I & II
Member of the WIT Computer Science Society ACM Chapter
Participated in HackWITus 2018, the annual hackathon hosted at Wentworth Institute of Technology. Secured a sponsorship with Particle to donate Photon kits and IoT hardware for use in the hackathon.
My hackathon team developed a sandboxed cryptographic messaging device based on Particle and Raspberry Pi that encrypted and sent messages through Discord.

As the president of CEHS Coding Club I focused on helping students create projects with the Particle IoT platform and teaching them the fundamentals of developing smart devices and web based applications.
Presented to the Cape Elizabeth Education Foundation and received a $1,200 grant to purchase Raspberry Pi and Particle Photon hardware kits for use in Coding Club.

Majored in Computer Science and minored in Neuropsychology during the summer of 2016 while residing at the Harvard Law School.
Created a semi-autonomous rover using a Particle Photon, and a Raspberry Pi that completed various tasks. Building the robot improved my C++ and Python programming skills.
Grades for Oxbridge Experience in Boston

Tech Club, Genius Bar, ISTA, Junior Varsity Basketball, Volleyball and Tennis
For my tenth grade personal project I created an Internet of Things demonstration that used a Photon to control servos and lights, and monitor sensors with an accompanying web application I built using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

Majored in Science and the Future and minored in Speech and Debate in the summer of 2015 while residing at Peterhouse College at Cambridge University.
Grades for Cambridge Prep Experience

Majored in Computer Science and minored in Creative Writing in the summer of 2014 while residing at Oriel College at Oxford University.
Grades for Oxford Prep Experience

I am deeply interested in the Internet of Things and the many applications it has. Along with developing IoT solutions professionally, I have created many side projects to explore different IoT devices and services.

I have used both the Photon and Electron, and continue to use Particle tools to develop projects in Coding Club and my own personal projects.

I am well versed with the command line and enjoy creating scripts to expedite development workflows. Creating po-util is an example of such a script, and has improved my understanding of Bash greatly.
