Skill Highlights

Additive Manufacturing

I have extensive experience in fused deposition modeling (FDM) printing through my personal Ender 3 that I have extensively modified.

CAD

I am a Certified SolidWorks Associate and am experienced in other CAD softwares (NX, AutoDesk Inventor, Onshape, and Fusion 360).

Software

I am proficient in various programming lanugages: MATLAB, C++, HTML, XML, and Java.

Arduino

I have abundant experience using arduinos in many of my personal projects and thesis research, as well as through assistant teaching for the undergraduate mechatronics class at Penn State for 2 years.
