I am always seeking the next challenging project or informative read to maintain a lifestyle of continuous learning. Besides working on exciting projects, I love to get outside and ride my motorcycle, exercise, or play guitar.
I have a passion for programming and automating tasks; I have connected several "things" to the internet using Arduino's, blynk, Node-Red, and Wi-Fi modules. I own a large collection of DIY electronics parts such as microcontrollers, ICs, sensors & actuators, SOCs, RF trancievers, software-defined radio's, and many other components.
I am highly interested in taking on challenging projects; I believe that I achieve the most growth when placed outside of my comfort zone.
Experience connecting "things" to the internet (IoT) in a corporate environment; I recently implemented an IoT gateway (or edge computer) using a Moxa UC-8112-MET and the Node-Red programming environment to automate gas-well scheduling: Download White Paper
I am going to implement a medical grade MLX90614 non-contact body temperature sensor,
RFID tags (containing identification information and vaccination record), and a server database for storing this information.
I plan to use ultrasonic sensors to guide a person into the correct position for temperature measurement and an RFID module to read
tags containing the identification information and vaccination record; the idea is that once a temperature measurement has been
taken and is within the accepted range, the person will proceed to scan their RFID tag; once the RFID tag has been scanned and the information has been recorded
(temperature, identification, and vaccination record), this information will be sent to a server and stored in a database. From this point, "entry" (through a doorway or passage)
will be gained if the requirements are met.
This project has applications (but its mostly for fun!) to help secure entry to areas that may be at high-risk of Covid-19 infection or may be highly affected by the virus.
These places include elderly homes, large businesses/corporate environments, and airports.
Designed a coaxial collinear antenna and reciever to track airplanes' Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) signals for a DIY airplane radar. Succesfully tracked airplanes from over 320km away.

Implemented a Linux Shell Script that takes a domain name as input and automates information gathering tasks. This script is useful for security related incidents, such as responding to a compromised domain name.

The task of this assignment was to implement deep learning for image classification. The python programming language and the Pytorch library were used for creating a custom CNN to classify images from the MNIST dataset.

This group project consisted of mechanical design, 3D printing, Arduino C, electronics prototyping/sensor integration, and lots of soldering! This bridge won the vote for 'best design' by EGBC members who attended our project demonstration.
