I am a Computer Engineering major at the University of Central Florida. I am no stranger to a challenge, being the sole female engineer in my family, and a self-taught programmer. I am passionate about supporting fellow engineers, developing my technical skills, and learning about being a computer engineer in the space industry. If all goes to plan, you may find my code being utilized on various NASA missions.
Recent Work
Knight Hacks Color Sensor Project
Objective:
To utilize input from a color detector, and to have code that can identify the color.
Takeaway:
We used an Arduino Nano and a TCS3200 color sensor. We took input from our based on the color we were currently using, and figuring out the value bounds of data each color represented.
This was the first project where I integrated hardware and software, and despite the simplicity, it taught me a lot about how to have one’s code take input from its hardware.
This link leads to a quick video explaining this project.

GNOR Boat Project
Objective:
Design, build, and code an autonomous boat capable of traveling the curve of the UCF reflection pond, whilst transporting a naval orange.
Takeaway:
We utlized a brushless motor, a servo, a 2200mAh Lipo battery, a 30A electric speed controller, and a TI MSP430 microcontroller. I was in charge of mapping and assembling the circuitry, and shared coding responsibility with another team member.
I learned a lot about C programming and autonomous control, as well as how to different components should be properly mapped and connected.
