PJM Interconnection LLC is a utility store that provides power, electricity, energy, transmission, grid, and operator.

I have always been passionate about learning what makes all types of machines work, especially today’s modern gadgets. As a recent graduate from Drexel University studying Electrical Engineering, I feel lucky to have been given an opportunity to dig into the vast world of software and electronics to truly understand the fundamentals for what makes them work. I have done intern work for RTI, an Ion-exchange resin cleaning company, to assist them in developing their first ever predictive modeling and data logging software system. Written primarily in C# and utilizing a MySQL background server, this software logs water quality conditions for specific areas and runs the data through an algorithm that was developed by the companies chairman. My work was to take the math and use it to create a GUI desktop application utilizing both WPF and WinForms that could autonomously log water quality data from online sources. My other responsibilities included performing chemical resin analysis lab work. During my studies at Drexel, I lead a senior design team of 3 in building a Bluetooth studio headphone amplifier. The objective of this device was to allow users to make use of their high impedance studio headphones with low cost devices such as a cell phone without causing undesirable distortion. The design of this device took around 6 months between research and development, but the end result was a fully functional and programmable custom printed circuit board that could have been theoretically mass produced on a pick and place machine. This exercise gave my group and I a greater understanding of embedded system layout, design, and programming. I am an ambitious and self-motivated individual who is no stranger to hard work. Through my academic and professional experiences, I do feel that I would make for a wonderful asset to your organization. Feel free to contact me regarding opportunities or any other topics that you believe may be of interest to me.
