My Work Experience

University of Waterloo- WATonomous

Software - High Level Data Fusion and Simulation Developer

May 2018 - Dec 2018 . 8 months

In this role, I worked on AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE'S! I worked on this design team for 12 months since January 2018. In the Software team, I mainly worked on High Level Data Fusion Software Development and some Simulation Software Development as well. In the High Level Data Fusion team, I worked on developing the sensor data fusion pipeline along with lane matching algorithms and visualization systems. Some of my tasks involve:

• Developing the Data Fusion Pipeline for filtering and communication of LIDAR, Radar, and Camera Data for Autonomous Vehicle Software; Used ROS Kinetic (client-server protocol framework), Ubuntu 16.04, Vagrant Virtual Machine, and C++

• Developed Lane Matching algorithms in C++; researched and prototyped different lane matching algorithms using polynomial matching and Dynamic Time Warping and also developed lane matching threshold algorithms.

• Developed Lane Matching Visualization systems using the SMFL C++ graphics library

• Researched and used API’s to communicate data from Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) to ROS

• Used UE4 to develop traffic and parking simulations for vehicle simulation, used C++ to program in randomization of traffic parameters in the simulation program

Linamar Gear

Mechanical / Automation Design Engineering Intern

May 2018 - Aug 2018 . 4 months

In this role, I was responsible for the design of Automation equipment on multiple gear manufacturing lines inside the plant. I worked on automation equipment such as autmated infeed/outfeed conveyors, gear orientation systems, and also robotic end of arm tooling. All projects were completed to help reduce costs and increase cycle time of production processes.

• Designed automation equipment on new production lines for Ford and GM sprockets and gears; designed automated infeed and outfeed systems, conveyor equipment, gear orientation fixtures, robot end of arm tooling, and lifters

• Desinged a automated infeed/outfeed tray transportation system for an automated grinding cell with custom designs like a tray station tilting mechanism and singulation system; reduced labour force in the process by 75% and increased cycle time.

• Assisted in the modification of robot cell equipment, automated elevator lifts, orientation systems, and automated infeed systems for production, developed hands on problem solving mindset

• Assisted in weld leak tests and diagnosis of weld issues throughout robotic welding process

• Designed, 3D printed and prototyped novel gear orientation system with lubricated roller bearings; increased cycle time by 70% and reduced part damage from robotic end of arm tooling interaction

TSC Stores, Corporate Office

Process Engineering Intern

Sept 2017 - Dec 2017 . 4 months

In this role as a process engineering intern, I spearheaded multiple lean continous improvement projects throughout their development cycle for the distribution center. For instance, I worked on developing new lean product picking, recieving, and storage processes with focuses on decreasing cycle time and decreasing process costs. Some other tasks completed were:

• Managed lean process improvement projects using A3, Process Maps, VSM, RCA, time studies and DOE to measure, record, analyze and validate project initiatives; commended by corporate president for excellence in A3 project development

• Managed the development of a $2 million automated sortation system to increase product sorting efficiency / used AutoCAD to produce conceptual drawings and integration schematics

• Led product flow optimization project through planning and implementation phases to increase process efficiency by 30% and save $200K in labor spending’s annually

• Sourced out and collaborated with vendors on the development/integration of electromechanical and automated equipment for projects; managed cost, schedule, scope and quality of different vendor equipment

Wireless Systems Engineering Intern

Jan 2017 - Apr 2017 . 4 months

In this role, I was responsible for working on wireless systems research. I used Blutetooth Low Energy (BLE) integrated in IOT sensor modules and worked on programming these modules for research projects such as wireless occupancy detection systems and automatic bluetooth device pairing. Some other tasks completed were:

• Programmed Bluetooth low energy sensor modules and interface microprocessor in C to debug/optimize experimentation; worked on IOT projects like a Bluetooth low energy occupancy sensor systems and an automatic device pairing system

• Developed, tested and optimized sensor experiments; analyzed RSSI to improve experimentation through learning and implementing various signal processing methods on MATLAB

• Conducted extensive literature search to investigate requirements for designing/testing optimal sensor systems; used findings to design and enhance room occupancy detection platform

• Measured and CAD modelled a DJI S900 hex-rotor drone for software simulations of optimal radar placement

• Co-authored a research paper to be published regarding success of the results

Private Drone Contracter

Drone Designer

May 2018 - July 2018 . 3 months

In this role, I helped design drone parts using SolidWorks and Inventor Software for a new drone being designed by a private contracter. Some of my tasks were:

• Designed Drone shell and Landing Gear Supporters; utilized advanced surface modelling for optimized Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Strengthening process

• Conducted FEA and CFD simulations on drone shell to ensure aerodynamic design as well as lightweight but supported frame structure
