Introduced a new eVTOL vehicle type for Microsoft AirSim, a simulator for multirotors, including dynamics model, control inputs, animated mesh, and PX4 autopilot integration in a realistic city environment powered by Unreal Engine.
Created a simulator from scratch that combines high-end graphics with real autopilot software to produce a high-fidelity SITL flight and camera simulation for UAVs, now used by other students for research and adopted by a university course to teach vision-based quadrotor control.
Lead engineer of autonomous navigation for the BYU Mars Rover Team: the only team to complete the final, fully autonomous navigation portion of task.
I was a primary operator of the rover in the competition and throughout development, and I wrote the navigation and sensing software that guided the rover to the goal markers.
Designed and built prototype of robotic self-parking chair capable of moving a 200-lb person. (Image: chair base)
Competed in IREC 2017 as avionics lead, achieved 95\% of target apogee in competition launch.
Built and launched personal rocket to 4,982 ft and successfully recovered it, earning myself a Level 1 High Power Rocketry Certification.
Wrote the software for PIC microcontroller for collecting ping pong balls, navigating arena, shooting the balls into goal and sensing for randomly moving active goal.
