About

Hey, I'm Adam! I’m an Electrical/Computer Engineering and Computer Science student at Duke University with a keen interest in embedded systems and software engineering. I enjoy working on solutions to tackle real-world problems, whether they require hardware, software, or a mix of both, and I'm highly interested in finding ways to apply artificial intelligence to these areas.

Duke University

August 2023 - Present

Peer Tutor

Tutored multiple hourly sessions per week for Computer Architecture, heavily using C, MIPS, and Logisim.

Boundless Science

May 2023 - July 2023

Embedded Software Engineering Intern

Created an embedded device controlled by an Adafruit Feather RP2040 microcontroller and programmable via a physical UI to generate ultrasound waves to drive transducers as part of a medical device prototype.
Designed code for low-level programming of registers, SRAM, and firmware for the MAX14813 chip over SPI and I2C using the Arduino language, along with abstractions to allow easy programmability without chip-specific knowledge.
Developed a Python/OpenCV system with a custom interpolation module for persistent detection and precise measurement of in-focus, moving aerosol droplets, achieving a 6x speedup over available object tracking algorithms.
Created Python script for custom data visualization, speeding up analysis of animal testing results by 8+ hours per trial.

Duke University Code+

May 2022 - July 2022

Full-Stack Software Engineering Intern

Developed a web application for Duke University with a React.js frontend to enable students to build their class schedules for future semesters more efficiently while being able to visualize relevant data.
Created REST backend API in Ruby on Rails to store user data and course info in a relational PostgreSQL database.
Implemented token authentication feature using Shibboleth for secure access tied to student ID.
Automated processes for parsing XML files and updating the database with the most recent course changes.
Utilized CI/CD pipelines to ensure the app functions smoothly in development and production environments.
