Developed and refined firmware for a multi-axis automated test system, improving motion coordination, torque-data integrity, serial reporting, diagnostics, and fault recovery.

• Reviewed and worked directly in the existing Arduino/C++ firmware codebase.
• Refined motion-control behavior without unnecessarily rewriting the application.
• Improved torque measurement and conversion logic using motor specifications, gearbox ratio, and gearbox efficiency.

Integrated vision, robotics, calibration, and dynamic coordinate correction to place adhesive-backed discs accurately across a 198-position nonrectangular battery assembly.

• Integrated the robot and two-camera vision workflow.
• Developed and tuned the placement process.
• Fine-tuned the adhesive-dispensing operation.

Designed and commissioned an in-motion bottle-fill verification system under a one-week deadline, using available sensors to solve a measurement problem the team had not previously implemented.

• Took ownership of the sensing and controls problem.
• Evaluated available ultrasonic and laser sensing approaches.
• Developed the system architecture.
