I am a senior ECE and CS student at Cornell University who is also expected to graduate with an M.Eng in ECE in May 2021. I am particularly interested in computer architecture, embedded design, systems programming, and IoT technology. I am also currently looking for a full-time job for Summer 2021, so please feel free to contact me at sn438@cornell.edu.
I studied hardware acceleration of microservices on an FPGA.
As a teaching assistant for the Computer Architecture Class at Cornell University, I assisted students with their SystemVerilog projects and graded assignments and exams.
I worked as a Product Test Engineering Intern virtually at Silicon Labs on their Ultra Low Jitter Oscillator Product. My project involved studying Poly resistors as they varied across corners and seeing if a three-bit coarse trim helped control for process variation. In addition, I helped verify the linearity of an ADC on the chip I was working on. Through this experience, I was exposed to various IC testing methodologies. In addition, I was able to practice writing firmware, Perl, and Python to interface with the design under test, collect data, and process data.
As a teaching assistant for the Introduction to Probability and Inference for Random Signals and Systems Class at Cornell University, I was mainly responsible for assistingstudent with their problem sets and grading student exams and assignments.
I am a member of Cornell Cup Robotics which is an engineering project team at Cornell University. I am responsible for designing the locomotion system for our R2D2 robot as well as building our robot communication systems. My role as an electrical engineer on Cup often involves me working alongside mechanical engineers, programmers, and other electrical engineers in an interdiciplinary setting.
As a Software Controls Intern at Gerber Technology, I explored automation technologies through the use of Beckhoff PLCs and EtherCAT fieldbus. I implemented a software testing interface for the head of a CNC cutter using a Structured Text program that I wrote. I was able to use Beckhoff Motion, an implementatin of PLCopen, to accurately control the position and velocity of motors on the head of the CNC cutter. I sourced an uninterruptible power supply for the new electronics box of a CNC cutter. Finally, I prototyped an electronics system based off a Beckhoff PLC and EtherCAT for a CNC spreader.
I was an Electrical Engineer on Cornell Baja Racing, an engineering project team at Cornell University. My duties were primarily test engineering oriented as I am in charge of testing various components on the competitive off-road racing vehicle the team builds. As an engineer on Cornell Baja, I am often collaborating with a team of forty mechanical engineers and six electrical engineers to design testing equiment, analyze data, and apply results to build an off road racing vehicle.
As a teaching assistant for the Digital Logic and Computer Organization Class at Cornell University, I was mainly responsible for guiding lab sections and holding office hours. During lab sections, I helped students debug their Verilog projects on their Alter FPGA boards, and during office hours, I helped clarify difficult concepts related to digital logic and Verilog. In addition, I helped proctor and grade exams.
I interned as a software engineer during school breaks at PlumChoice Inc. During this time, I programmed for the for Bolt-On Ordering and Sales Tool (BOOST) sales platform for AT&T. During this time, I helped recreate some of the data display mechanisms on the BOOST sales platform by using jQuery DataTables and by rewriting SQL queries accessing the customer database. I most recently worked on an automated deployment system for the project by writing Bash and Oracle Weblogic Jython scripts on a Linux platform.
