Professional Background
I have 6 month industry experience at Microchip Technology where I worked as a Corporate Applications Engineer Intern as part of my BSc Degree. I mostly worked with embedded systems, 8-bit Microcontrollers, Ethernet, sensors, communication protocols, datasheet analysis, and technical support via Salesforce. My internship project was an EMG controlled robotic hand, utilising some ethernet networking skill for communication between controllers instead of SP1, USART or i2c.
I have previously lived and worked in Japan for 5 years as an English Teacher. 1 year in Osaka, and 4 years in Tokyo.
Education
I taught myself mathematics to enter university.
I hold a B.Sc. in Robotics & Intelligent Devices.
Graduated top of my class with First Class Honours. At University I consistently completed working projects each year of my studies. To give an overview, I built a ball and beam control system in my first year, an object detection computer vision system using a Raspberry Pi in my second year, in my third year during my internship I made an EMG controlled robotic hand. In my final year project involved two robotic arms both with 4DOF to perform collaborative tasks using depth cameras and ROS/ Moveit and Linux.
