Alexander — Software/Electrical Engineer

I taught six sections of sophomore and junior-year electrical engineering courses in analog electronics and digital logic circuits. I prepared and gave lectures, designed and administered laboratories, gave and grade homework assignments, and all other duties of the course without supervision.

During the Summers following my freshman, sophomore, and junior years of undergrad, I worked as a technical intern for AT&T's MATREX program. The details are outlined in more detail in my resume, but each year I supported an internal development team (particularly big data Hadoop systems) and additionally performed duties as a Scrum Master and developer on an intern mobile application development team.

I left Virginia Tech with a 3.9 GPA, but have not yet finished the degree. Personal commitments have forced me to seek out work now for financial resasons, however the school has stated that I am welcome to return.

Large Java and other Object-Oriented-Programming Projects - Automated Robotic Routines including a) basic assembly line procedures using 5DoF Robotic Arm-Wrist Systems (AL5D) and b) motorized 4-wheel "bot" (equipt with color and infrared camera) would produce graph of room layout through exploration (graph theorgy) - Implemnted various PID feedback devices including an inverted pendulum (a small robotic car with only two wheels on one side that could balance itself upward using a tuned feedback circuit to control servo motors) and a "levitator" device (an electromagnetic coil that levitated a small piece of iron by driving the coil with just enough electricity to prevent the iron from moving. An infrared sensor determined the proximity of the iron to the sensor).
