Projects

AIAA USLI Rocket Payload
Oregon State University

I was apart of the 2021-22 USLI Rocket project. The project is partnered with NASA who provided us the guidelines and advise. I was specifically apart of the Payload subteam and wrote software for the numerous avionics systems involved. These avianics ranged from IMUs, Radio Frecuency sensors, Vision Processing, and Drone Flight stabilization. The subteam included three other software engineers as well as electrical and mechanical engineers. By the end of the 2022 school year, we were able to compete against other schools nationally and we ranked 7th. You can read more about on the USLI project site.
