Project Orthrus 2019

As club President, my responsibilities to the club resembled that of a systems engineer. I needed to have a high-level view of the project and its sub-systems from every discipline involved. With the assistance from my technical leads, I could make knowledgeable design decisions about any component: be it electrical, mechanical, or software related. I was also responsible for club operations, including fundraising, recruitment, and finances, ultimately yielding several thousand dollars in grants and donations and approximately 40 new recruits.

Knowing I would only be able to lead the club for a single semester due to my graduation in December 2019, I made it my goal to leave the club in a position of success for the upcoming 2020 competition. My efforts were unfortunately thwarted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as the competition was cancelled that year for safety concerns.

Project Cerberus 2018 - 2019

As the Control Systems Team Lead, I was responsible for a team of 14 developers dedicated to programming the rover's embedded subsystems. While I personally developed the rover's drive systems this year, I was responsible for ensuring progress of all of the control systems developers. I had a detailed understanding of every subsystem design, and was able to guide assist any of my team members as needed. The rover's controls systems that year were written in a C++ environment of my design.
