vtol-AirSim

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.

rosflight_holodeck

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.

University Rover Challenge

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.

Self-Parking Chair

Designed and built prototype of robotic self-parking chair capable of moving a 200-lb person. (Image: chair base)

Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition

Competed in IREC 2017 as avionics lead, achieved 95\% of target apogee in competition launch.

Personal Rocket: "The Burninator"

Built and launched personal rocket to 4,982 ft and successfully recovered it, earning myself a Level 1 High Power Rocketry Certification.

Mechatronics Competition

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.
