Research
SubjuGator
As a member of the 2007 SubjuGator Team (3-time world champion), I designed PCBs, wrote code in C++ and C#
to manage the many sensors (Doppler velocity log, high-speed cameras, digital compass, inertial measurement
unit), maintained the operating system and programming environments, and managed the mechanical design of
wetplugs and internal wiring. I am co-leader of the 2008 SubjuGator Team.
Center for Intelligent Machines and Robotics (CIMAR)
I designed a custom computer chassis for the 10 dual-core computers located in the back of the Team Gator Nation
autonomous car. I also ported a communication software library for the Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems
(JAUS) framework from Linux to Windows.
Machine Intelligence Lab (MIL)
I have been the Network Administrator for MIL since 2005. I've been primarily responsible for maintaining an Apple
XServe server with web, mail, domain, and file share services. I manage a Windows 2003 server for SubjuGator,
which runs SourceSafe version control system, Subversion version control system, SQL, file share services, and
Windows Embedded Studio. I administer and keep running all of the computers (15) in the lab.
Sir Vide surveying robot
During the summer of 2007, I designed a laser surveying robot with camera and compass feedback.
